    Need advice! I'm kinda new in the chicken ownership world & need help!

    A coyote killed my chicken. Can we eat her?

    How much antibiotic powder stuff do I use in her water? (more) help!

So we went over to the local Agway and they said that she should be fine since she has been eating...

    My chickens are driving me mad!!!!!!!!!!! Help me before I go insane!!

    ...thing for the waterer as I did the feeder but instead of the box I used one of those plastic Domino Sugar tubs and filled that with bags of dirt and put the cover on. My rigs will definally NOT win ANY awards for best feeder/waterer design but it seems to be working thus far. *crosses fingers*

    Quote: I love that combo idea! Such a space saver! I wish I had thought of that before! (Oh I don't know, when my chickens were a day old, that would have been useful!) I will wait for more ideas though... I want lots and lots of options to choose from!!
