    I hate my new waterer

    No, just twist the top off, then fill. It's in 2 pieces. Then put the top back on with the slot over the post, give it a slight twist, then move on!

    I hate my new waterer

    Yeah, I hate those waterers too! I went to the galvanized, double walled waterer, and got the heated base they set on for the winter.

    Does everyone stress ordering chicks the first time 😱

    I do understand not being 100% with them. But, they are a wonderful hatchery with wonderful birds... do consider giving them another shot in the future! They are wonderful to work with.

    Looking for opinions on covering my chicken run.

    I use this in conjunction with the HW cloth so I have shade that air can move through. They last longer than tarps do! (at least in my area they do!) https://a.co/d/6KehWed

    Coop run for free range hens?

    I love my Brahmas! But, be aware that they are big birds.... they will need room to get onto the roost! These girls will need the extra room! They will get tempramental if their space is too small.

    Barnevelder gender tracking. 3 - 9 weeks

    2 week old chicks trying to fly out of brooder

    I don't think they see the HC. I have them try to escape all the time...LOL.... but I've never had them hit the lid. I use a wire shelf on the top, but to be honest, its more to keep out curious kitties. What breed are they? I would move to a larger brooder. That one looks a wee bit small. It...
