.......Long cold spring want keep me down,,,,,,I have found 6 inches insulated walls are great,,,I have learned that 32 to 42 degrees and plenty of ventilation is your best method for cold climate flock raising,with plenty of wood shaving and straw for flooring. I have learned that 28 Cornish X will eat 4 to 6 lb of feed and drink 2 to 3 gallons of water in 24 hrs. Was dang surprised to be able to buy hatching eggs off eBay....hatch them with a better than 50% hatch rate.Plus be a DIYer...There is just too much expence in running a flock in Ak, be resourceful....Check craiglist,Alaskalist and Ebay...and the BYC site for more great info.
God bless the human that came up with nipples for watering.
Speaking of waters,,I have several 5 and 2 gal bucket available on craiglist...Anybody on here want any,,Let me know.
I will be culling out Americaunas, Black French copper maran,Jap Blacktail Bantams + some Golden seabrights later this summer..Let me know if anyone is interested...Plus I looking for Lt Brahma Roo for some spacial night with 6 hens..Just for some fertile eggs ,,Then you can have him back LOL
I use to raise birds in Arkansas as a 4-Her...Nothing like AK bird raising.
I got lots of experience in raising birds,,Let me know if I can help in anyway....Peace
You could set up the meeting @ KFC..... It would be AFT @ KFC,,,,,,,,,,Yes SIR .HmmmmmI was just about to actually!

I'm pretty sure breakup will never come, but preparing for spring anyway. I've been planning to use sand on the coop floor, but of course I keep second guessing myself. I want them as warm as possible but I would much rather use sand than shavings. Thoughts?
Do you have problems with the nipples freezing? I plan to put a block heater on the galvanized water jug. Are block heaters effective for plastic buckets?
