    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    My chickens are Light Brahmas and Easter Eggers (Americanas). We have been using all flock feed because we also have ducks. We are adding in oyster shell though to make sure theyre getting calcium and they are getting some treats but not very often.

    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    I'm new to chicken keeping and had a question, with these cold temperatures when do yall expect to get some eggs?

She isnt acting...

    There was one that was leaking and our little 2 gallon buckets wasnt big enough. Got a bigger kiddie pool and a different waterer and we are down to like 7 gallons a day.

    Water needs??

    You're fine for laughing, it is funny. I have one 2 gallon open bucket specifically for splashing and the other is a chicken waterer with little bowls for the water.

    Water needs??

    Okay I know that supposedly ducks drink about .25 gallons of water a day. We are currently going through more than 5 gallons a day between our 9 ducks (5 weeks old) and our 10 chickens. So far today I have given them 16 gallons of water. I'm hoping they don't go through it all but this is...

    Smelly
