    The Natural Chicken Keeping thread - OTs welcome!

    We've been using a submersible fish tank heater for our waterer (5 gallon bucket with chicken nipples). Works great. You can pick them up on Craigslist for pretty cheap, or catch them on sale in stores. It's not like it needs to be high powered, just enough to keep the water from freezing.

    What do you wish you had known before you got your chickens

    How much blood, sweat, and tears I would put into them. Not to mention money. How fun they are to watch. How devious raccoons are. How much devastation one neighbor dog can bring. How much I'd love the little things. How much I would do to save my favorite hen after a dog attack and...

    Post pics of stock from Cackle Hatchery

    I have to say, I've been very happy with our purchases from Cackle Hatchery. I'll admit, since we live in Missouri, we're a lot closer to Cackle than some of the other hatcheries, so I'm sure that plays a role in how the chicks do during shipping. In our first batch we had NO losses except...

    New from Missouri
