Awesome! Thank you! I will go to tractor supply tomorrow and see if I can find a waterer like that.

I looked at the picture again. I think it’s an illusion because I’ve been obsessive about making sure the water was clean. It’s a clear Tupperware top so the shavings you are seeing are under the lid not in it... that being said I know there has to be a better. Easier way.

Thanks you! I’m sorry to hear that. I wonder why that is?

Hello Everyone, my new girls came today! We are so excited. Just wanted to share pics. Also, what did y’all use to give your new baby chicks water in the beginning? . I’m using the lid of a Tupperware bowl and refilling it several times a day. Any suggestions other wise? I originally had a...

wow!! Thanks for the great info!!

Thank you! I have a coop ready for them. Unfortualy, I lost my girls last month to a predictor. The mistake we made was not putting underwire under the run, we had big stones around it, but we had a plumber come to run water to the run and he removed one of the stones.. we didn’t know until it...

I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong spot (I didn't see an Info on Egg thread). I went out of town over Labor Day and I came home to find my chickens laid a dozen and 1/2 eggs!! I was so excited!! But how safe are they to eat at this point? How long can they be outside in the heat? I feel like...

I'm so excited!! Earlier this summer I bought a coop from chicken saloon..that claimed to hold up to 10 chickens (that was a joke) I only have 6 and they were way over crowded!! I started doing some part time free ranging to get them out a little but to make a long story short a hawk tried to...

Im sorry, meant to add. It's called a Grandpa Feeder? I believe. I'll add a pic

I'm thinking of purchasing this for my chicks? Any feedback or other ideas? Do you love this product and why? Thank for your help

Here's another pic- it didn't show up earlier for some reason.
