Hello all,
We live on a small island in the caribbean and over recent weeks have raised several chicks we rescued. Some died, victims of rats (and one a hot water bottle), but some have survived. It's quite hard work because we have no resources at all, so we have to build everything from scratch, from hen coops to food and drink dispensers. These last are giving us some trouble as the chicks are big enough to kick everything over, and we don't want them going without water when the weather is so hot. Doesn't matter how many stones I put in the dishes, they all get filled up with dirt.
I'm in New York City for a break, and wondered if there were any pet stores that might sell poultry feeders or waterers. Have tried searching online but they all seem geared to just dogs.
BYC was a great resource when we first got the chicks and I learnt a lot, so thanks to the communitiy!
All the best,
Amy
