    How to repair crack in waterer

    Sometimes I just need someone to state the obvious. It would be cheaper to buy a new bucket than buy sealant. :rolleyes: Although, with inflation, it's $4.28 instead of $2. Thanks!

    How to repair crack in waterer

    I installed horizontal water nipples in a 5 gallon bucket. I was getting ready to fill it and I noticed a small 1/4" crack in the bucket coming from one of the drilled holes. Is there something that I can seal the crack with that will hold and is non-toxic, or do I have to start over with a new...

    How would you attach hardware cloth to pipes?

    We made a frame for our run from our old 15' trampoline frame. There are pipe hanger straps on the 2×6s and the ends of the pipes are slipped into them to keep them lined up. I'm looking for ideas on how to secure hardware cloth to the frame. I was planning on zip ties, but rethinking that. The...

    Baby Chick Order From Mount Healthy- What breed am I?

    I also got a Speckled Sussex from Mt. Healthy yesterday! I think your pic #2 looks most like my SS. The chicks in your top pic are much richer color and more distinct difference between their top and bottom color.

    Chicks have arrived! One seems a little "off."

    She was fine by evening. I think maybe she just had jet lag, it was a whirlwind trip from OH to AZ in one day! My dd figured out how to get her to drink, since dipping her beak didn't seem to work. She put drops of water on her hand in front of her, and she pecked at them, then offered water...

    Coop/run ideas for AZ heat and termites

    We are getting our first chicks at the end of this month. :wee I am trying to plan a coop. I am thinking an open air coop/run because of the desert heat. Basically a coop with 3 partial walls (for windbreaks and shade at the roost level) and open to the run on the remaining side. I hope that...

    Murray McMurray Statement on Avian cases

    I'm so sad about the salmon favorelles too. I was looking forward to that fluffy face! I ended up switching our order to a different hatchery that has all the breeds we wanted - except the favorelle 🙁. I feel bad doing that, as it's not McMurray's fault, but my kids have been counting down the...

    Murray McMurray Statement on Avian cases

    Our first chicks were scheduled to ship April 18. My kids are so excited. Got the email that 3 of our 7 chicks are no longer available because of this. (Salmon Favorelle, Dominique, Speckled Sussex) The only thing left available for our ship date is meat birds. If I switch ship dates to late...
