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...

I'm thinking about getting marans for a homesteader dp flock---roos into the freezer, hens for "chocolate egg" layers.

I'd love to get an assortment of different colors-- not just cukoos

Chinese and African Geese, mixed turkeys, welsh harlequin flock, some misc duck ducks, dexter cows, nigerian dwarf goaties, 2 ferrets, a house bunny and 2 pyr/aussie shep guardian dogs.

I'm looking for Marans also. I have a cuckoo maran, the only one I have left of 3 that is 4 yrs old, and I'm wanting to get some of the other marans. Especially black copper's. Did you get some good advice on what hatchery is the best to buy from? I know mpc carries an assortment of marans, but I can't get any of them until Oct!

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not into thine own understanding. Prov. 3:5 Our flock: speck. suss, br. leghorns, porcelain bantys, aracaunas, silver spangled hamburgs, buckeyes, blue andalusions, Egyptian fayoumis, French copper marans, cuckoo marans, freedom rangers! (Whew!)
