I don't use a store bought waterer, but I just you a short round tin can. I clean it almost everyday. I don't put anything at all in the water. The waterer is right next to the food and they eat the food just fine.
My hens will not drink water at all. They will only drink the water that I water my plants with. They don't drink it from their waterer. They only drink it from the ground. Now that it's winter all of my crops are harvested so they don't drink water anymore. They don't drink water in the summer...
My chickens are very agressive! My rooster is biting everyones heads and making them scream! It's blood-hurling! There is one chicken I am not sure about because it bites everyone and even pulled a father off my rooster! I thought the rooster was going to get mad but he didn't! He just yelped...
No worries! I'm pretty sure that chickens hating snow is pretty normal. My chickens hate snow and they only walk on the snow when one of the braver one comes out and walks. They run on the snow though. If the snow is hard they are not afraid to walk on it but if the snow is soft and they can...
Thanks for all the replies! Now I'm not that worried about my chickens! If any of you guys could go check out my thread about what breeds they are and help me figure out the breeds I would appreciate that very much!:):):D

Is this normal? When it starts raining, the chicks don't go anywhere. They just get wet. I'm not sure if chickens can catch colds, but I don't want anything to be wrong with my chicks.
Well I'm not totally sure of their gender yet so I want to make sure that it is the correct gender before I make any sudden acts. If I really have 3 Roos and 2 hens, I will consider your answers.
I only have 5 chicks actually 2 died after I made my account. I didn't know I had 3 Roos until around yesterday. I bought them from the state fair. We forgot to ask the breed and if they were female or male. I only have 2 hens so I don't want to lose any more chicks roo or hen. They are 3...
My chickens will fight each other! They will peck each other and charge at each other! I watch them from my window and when they start fighting I hit the window and they look up and stop fighting. It is mostly my 3 roosters that fight but sometimes the fight the girls. I want them to stop...
