This and the 5 gallon version of this product are more disappointing products from Little Giant. I had to modify the handles on these to get them to hang straight enough to not leak (I...

2 Gallon Double Wall Fount

If these waterers aren't fairly level they leak -- that's pretty obvious. We don't have a lot of flat level spots in our chicken areas, so decided to hang our waterers and let gravity level them...

OK. So I think my EE hen swallowed a pencil sharpener. LOL.

She just came out of retirement a few days ago.

She hasn't laid an egg since last summer after her broodiness.

Here's Matilda the pointy egg layer. She always has a poopy butt. LOL. And her daughter Roadrunner is behind her.

They are! Soft and wet, yet strangely....durable. We cut them open and both were fertile. Maybe the baby daddy is a crocodile?

My little Golden Campine hen laid a 'snowman egg'. The 2nd pic shows how small it actually was by comparing it to a quarter. The 3rd pic shows how the two section were joined on the other side of the egg. It even had a "face" already on it plus, if you look closely, one of the 'eyes' is the sillouette of a chicken....she was so-o-o talented!!!! Actually she usually laid only egg farts and very seldom laid a full sized egg.
