I was very excited to finally have galvanized metal feeders and waterers. The feeder is fine. The waterer, so far, has NOT lived up to my expectations.
I'm having just the opposite problem. About half the water runs out before it stops. What's the use of filling one up, hauling it all the way to the coop, and then standing there and watching the water pour out? Any suggestions?

I have a one-winged chicken. She was attacked by something when she was just a chick, but it didn't pull her wing off. Instead, her wing got infected and maggot infested (yep - very nasty) and I had it amputated. I paid the vet 100 x what I paid for her, but she made it and is quite spunky and a...
I have two Ameraucana pullets, born around the end of Feb. They have been getting used to being outdoors and doing quite well. However, we're supposed to get down to 33 within the next couple of nights. Do you folks think that's too cold for them? They huddle up together, but they're still...

Do you think this will be bad for my...

If they are noisy (roosters crowing at 5 and waking your neighbors) or you allow their run to become dirty or smelly, they can be...
There used to be quite a few. In fact, a few months ago a big crowd met at the Ryan's steakhouse on 64.
I haven't checked in for a while, so I'm not sure where every one went.
Be sure to introduce yourself if you come to my house.
You folks near Raleigh might be interested in a fun way to spend a Saturday.

There's a nifty slide show here (My ladies can be seen in slides 10 and 11)...
Hi folks.
It was nice seeing and meeting you all yesterday. My wife and in-laws were real troopers to come along with me.
Thanks to the folks who put this together.
