How do you use the drill bit "the same way that you would use the auto-feeder"?. Do you have pics to demo? I just purchased 2 of the auto feeders...I'm downsizing from 20 chickens (waaaaaaaaaaaay to many), glad I'm allowed to make my own decisions on MY chickens and MY chicken...

Must be leaking in somewhere, I made mine out of PVC pipe and it's now been through it's first official "tropical storm" with four days of sideways wind/rain and absolutely no issues. It is exposed to the elements on all sides. Top is closed with a standard pipe cap.

I went to murdocs and got a RIR & leghorn cross.
Per the sign, they will grow up to be white with red streak/speckles.
They had a half-breed name, but I can't remember it.
Can you help?
This is my first blog ever.
We moved to Lookout Mountain in Golden in April 2011.
Our move in date was extended, so prior to us closing on our house...in my little 500 square foot apartment I had a large box of chickens (brooder box), 2 cats, 125 gallon fish tank, one 75 pound Hungarian Vizla...
Hello amazing Marans lovers.
I am in Golden, CO and went on my first Backyard Chicken Coop Tour.
I bit the chicken bug this year and am loving every minute of it.
I began to fall in love with the Marans (Wheaten Marans specifically) about a month ago. The dark eggs are amazing!
I am pretty sure...
My Buff Orphington Roo has taken quite the liking to my Easter Egger.
There is damage on her back from him mounting her, but that's not what I'm really worried about.
The area around her vent has lost a bunch of feathers and it looks like there are some scabbed over parts.
She hasn't laid an egg...
Hello fellow Coloradians
This forum is the best, learned so much to make my first year with chickens a success.
My neice is now living with us, and she has proven herself a very responsible young lady.
She has asked for her own chickens.
We are on Lookout Mountain in Golden, but are willing...
Anyone have the following? I can find most of them locally, but am having a tough time with the Blue Lace Red Wyandotte & Appenzeller Spitzhauben in Colorado.
I'd love to get them all from one farm, but will drive a million miles for my neices darn color preferences...
(she has me wrapped...
We have a black horse trough we are planning to use for the duck pond until we can fence in our current pond area.
We now have a rubbermaid bucket as their pond.
Do we need to dig down the trough for the ducks to walk into it,
or can we build a ramp and platform for the trough?
Will the...
I'm fine if they are a mix of silver and ???.
Just like the markings.
I'd also love to find ANY runner ducks. I've looked on line and can't find any that I can get 5 or less (I'm looking for about 3).
All the websites I've gone to are out for 2011.
I'm looking for 3-5, maybe 6. Places I've looked online there is a min of 10-15. I'd lve to support a local farming operation in golden/denver Colorado, but if I must get them by mail then I will.
So...maybe I'm a bad chicken mama
I had 8 chicks in a pretty large brooder box. Watched them and took them out daily.
Shortly after we moved the chicks into the new chicken coop (around 5 weeks) we noticed that one of the RIR's had a really funny walk.
Her right leg and foot are just fine...
