I can't say I have a ton of experience, but I do have a nine day old Mallard duckling named Pyrrhos(getting her some companions on Friday or Saturday). She is very talkative, but I don't mind the...

Little Giant - 3 Gallon Plastic Poultry Waterer - PPF3
Reviewed by LeslieDJoyce

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
Reviewed by LeslieDJoyce

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...

Automatic King Size Poultry Fount - 2550
Reviewed by LeslieDJoyce

I bought and installed several of these at one time and they all leaked right away. I removed one and took it back to the feed store where I bought it to ask for advice, and was told I wasn't the...

Welcome to BYC! Enjoy the new flock! My 3 y.o. is my helper. He wants to go "check on the chickens" several times a day. Followed by wanting to "pet" the chickens and "hold" the chickens. It's lots of fun!

Living with six chickens, three cats, two goldfish, two goats, two steer, one schipperke, one adorable son, and one wonderful husband - and did I mention the six chickens?

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?
