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...

Why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

Why is there brail at drive up ATMs??

Why are their floatation devices instead of parachutes in my airplain seat???

If a tree falls in the woods and my husband doesn't hear it, am I still wrong????

We've got some friends with chickens. Theirs is not insulated but they said they just build up the litter and it helps keep them warm. We also could use this tiny woodstove that we've got sitting in the greenhouse.

Hi.

How exciting for you.

I did a lot of research before I got my chicks. Especially on breed types and what would be suitable for my climate here in CT. There were additional considerations like, personality, were they fliers, broodiness, how many eggs they were expected to lay, etc. In addition, one book I found very helpful for the basics was "Raising Chickens for Dummies". My quick go to book. I am new raising chickens also.

Good Luck.
