There is an updated design that makes for a better experience. The shape has been modified so NO tool is required to install ( or small hands to grip while screwing it into place) and the drip tray has been increased in size to allow more water to be available per sip by the bird...
We have Muscovy and pekins. The pekins like to play the game of marco polo. one quacks and other returns the quack. Muscovy just wag their tails and stretch their necks :-)
I would like to increase the DNA pool in my flock.
Would consider purchase but prefer a trade.
Must be a large or extra large in order to compete with my existing drake.
Have a couple of drakes that are 10 weeks and nearly ready for harvest (7/28) and a few more that are a few weeks younger...
We have developed a system and have it down to a few steps. First we use the MuddyHillFarm feeder and know about how many days of feed a full feeder will last. The second is water. We use the MuddyHillFarm horizontal nipple WITH the CoolerAdapter installed in old insulated coolers. Water temps...
