    Poop board convert *warning-graphic/gross poop pictures*

    First, I have no experience, other than all the reading...I really tried to pay attention through this whole thread. It was tough to reach the end without just jumping to my questions though. We're getting chicks soon, and we want to be properly prepared without spending a lot of extra money...

    Screen above poop tray maybe?

    Great, thanks folks. The more I thought about it myself, I realized that the reason for the sand (or litter) is probably the same reason NOT to use a screen or whatever there.

    Horizontal Nipple Watering

    Hi everyone. I have not even purchased my chicks yet and am only working off of what I've read or heard from others to prepare my "setup." My main question is: Will the watering nipples work if they were installed into the side of a bucket, thus pointing horizontally? I'm thinking of...
