Just geting started at this I have 16 Cortnixquail now. With chicks on the way.
I am a 68
year old retired truck driver with time on my hands.
This seems like a good way to fill it.

I found it is a lot easier not to keep water out at night since the birds are asleep and not drinking and water will freeze solid over night. Years ago, our days were a lot colder and at first I was hauling up warm water every few hours to replace what had frozen. This got tiresome, so I purchased heated dog water dishes. However over the past 2 or 3 years, I have only turned them on once or twice during the winter season, our days just aren't staying as cold. You can also purchase heated chicken waterers, either on line, or possibly TSC has them.Hello everyone, we finally got our coop and run ready and have a flock of 5. We got them at Quality Baits. They had a great selection when we went there in July. They are not letting folks see the birds. They just bring them out to you, from what you select. Thank you!
I have been wondering how do you guys in NM keep their water from freezing in winter. I don't have electrical where their coop is. Will need to run one from the house but will be a long cord. I know its far, but I am wondering how can I prepare?
