    Proper way to wrap whole birds in freezer paper?

    Thank you for the tips. This is my first time to raise chickens for meat and I went with a heritage breed and only have 8 birds to process. Otherwise I would have either invested in vacuum sealer or the heat shrink bags.

    nipple waterer bucket 'deformed'

    Nope they don't leak you just have to make sure you don't let the water level get to low because part of the nipple is higher than the bottom of the bucket. I didn't use any pipes just hang the bucket from a chain and hook from the roof of my coop. Three nipples per bucket is good.
