    vaccuum pressure waterer- what am I doing wrong?

    I have one of the chicken watering containers that wok with vacuum pressure. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong to keep it from just pouring out water instead of slowly trickling. Can someone help me. I feel so dumb!

    My chickens are now 6 moths Old -still no Eggs.

    I live in Western WA where the sun sets at 4:30 in the winter, and it's gloomy most of the days anyway. I am wondering if it's too late in the year for my young chickens to start laying eggs for the first time. They are 6 months old as of yesterday.Any thoughts?

    10 week old chick limping, panting: Updated for Day 2

    I am new to chicken keeping, and here's a first for me. One of my chicks, who I think is a rooster is limping, not wanting to walk. Usually he runs when I try to pick him up. He's eating and drinking still, and shows no signs of obvious injury. He's been panting a bit, even though it's warm but...

    2 Dominiques with Different Combs Is one a Roo?

    I got them from the local feed store. They had several breeds in together so I wouldn't be surprised if a Barred Rock got mistaken for a Dominique.

    Ameracauna-Am I a Rooster?

    I got these two at the same time as the bird in question. They have different combs than the white one, which is why I wondered about the gender. They are all supposed to be "Ameracaunas." If they are just EEs I don't care. I just want eggs, not a show quality chicken ;)
