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...

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 received 2 chickens the beginning of March and was told they are RIR's and both females. Now 3 months later I'm starting to think one of them, my Molly (now Mol), is a cockerel. I hope the pictures I post are helpful enough to help me. Also I'm thinking they are not RIR's. I bought 2 more from a reputable grain company near home and they are true RIR's. I think Mol and my other hen are WelSummer's. Is this a true bree and can someone help me identify if Mol is for sure a cockerel? please and thank you

I'm seeing all pullets, and you have Production Reds not RIR.
