    Dirty Water

    Today I just finished putting a 5 gal Igloo water cooler with a nipple attachment for 2 waterers on where the factory installed spigot was on the cooler. I would mention the nipple company's name but the last time I did some member here jumped on me questioning why would I buy a ready made one...

    Guard Geese, Turkeys, and Guinea Fowl for my hens?

    I can only comment from experience on the benefits of 2 of the different types of animals that you mentioned..... Goats....are awesome alarm sounders to anything that doesn't belong on their place. They make a snorting noise over and over until you go to investigate or the threat leaves. I...

    Any Trackers/Hunters on the Forum?

    What was the measurement of the foot print? Do you have bears in your area? Bears can make a wooden chicken coop look like it's made out of paper mache' if they want what's inside bad enough.

    I read this whole thread and in the beginning I wasn't so sure that Rick was going to make it. But lo-and-behold he did and it was thanks to you and your husband's loving care, Rick's amazing will to live, and I believe all the prayers helped too! I'm sorry about the passing of your chick, I...

    Hawk in the neighborhood

    For the second day in a row, there has been a young hawk flying around near my chicken coop and run. He's brave and flies low to the ground and flies from tree branch to tree branch, until the crows run him off. I like to let my chickens free range a couple of days a week but not this week....

    Raptors are killing my flock

    I live on 10 acres and over half of it is wooded. I have had the occasional red-tail hawk attack on my big roo but he's been either extremely lucky or he's tougher than he looks! I let my 2 hens and the rooster free range only a couple times a week and never for 2 days in a row, just in case...

    Alternative To Current Watering For Our Flock (Chickens & Turkeys)

    LOL, no the kid on my avatar is being chased by a HEN! Which should insult the kid even more. ;) I'm buying the waterer that has 2 nipples on it and can be screwed into a Rubbermaid or Igloo beverage cooler for a cost of under $30. I'm so tired of scrubbing out poop and slime from my...

    Alternative To Current Watering For Our Flock (Chickens & Turkeys)

    No need to get your feathers all ruffled! I am NOT ordering the most expensive product they offer, only the dual waterer that you twist into a Rubbermaid or Igloo water cooler at a cost of under $30 and I'm recycling an old cooler at that! I only have 2 hens and 1 rooster so I'm not...

    spiritually communicate with an agressive rooster???

    I too am a big animal lover and thought I could tame a mean-spirited rooster. I tried everything and nothing worked. The day he jumped up in my face and flogged me just missing my eye by an inch and laying my cheek open, I got rid of him immediately. My daughter took him and he was nice for...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    My 2 girls took a long break of about 2 1/2 months of no eggs at all but have now started up again giving me 2 eggs a day regardless of how cold it is.
