    5 Gallon Bucket feeder help

    @Alaskan the little holes were my first attempt before I found hubbys larger drill bits. That’s what you get when I’m just winging it! Do you think these birds would be able to get into a pvc pipe feeder? Or should I do a larger pvc?

    5 Gallon Bucket feeder help

    @wamtazlady I don’t typically do the BOSS but I was using it as an incentive to get them to use the new feeder. This is the only treat they’ve had in 2 weeks actually. I haven’t given them anything with the sole purpose of using this to entice them.

    Relocating flock

    I had to reHome my flock 2 months ago until we found land that would allow us to have my flock again. We’ve found out land and will be putting our coop and run up before our house which is posing a logistical issue. I’ll need to bring water in but also I’ll need to be sure coop and run are...

    Larger scale water and food systems

    @Ol Grey Mare this is some of my boys at under a year. I’m afraid as they mature their combs will pose an issue.
