I have had the feeder for several weeks now and love it. The Rooster doesn’t have a problem. I am using so much less Feed it is amazing. The feeder has already paid for itself!
I looked at the Rat Proof Feeders and I will most likely go with that. They may need to be under cover where the Grandpa feeders do not but I like how they work. They also need to be secured to a post or wall for stability which is no problem for me. There are pros and cons to all so a bit of...
No one ever mentions roosters. Do they have any trouble with their size or their combs?
Also am I understanding correctly that this must be under cover or it will rust quickly?
Thanks!
I have had a horrible problem with mice in my coop this winter. I always get some but this year has been very bad. I am
Worried they are stressing my chickens out. I want to buy a treadle feeder but I am worried about my rooster. How will he fit his big combed, waddled head in their? Does anyone...
I am raising some production blacks for a friend and thought I might keep two. I am a little worried because they are a high production bird. They is little info on them.
I would not know which egg was hers. I don’t know what to do for her. ☹️ Two of my three comets are sick. The one who layed...
Thanks so much. I do not run lights and I do give meal worms. Her feathers do look like she is severely lacking something. I have had chickens for six years and I have never had this many problems. They are a sweet bread but I doubt I will get them again. ☹️

i am in chicken hell right now but I will just address one issue. One of my golden comets (two years old) has been looking raggedy for a while but nothing too concerning. In the past few days she looks
Really bad, although I at first thought she was just molting. I brought her in this evening...
Yes she is always doing this now. She was on a hill so went fast. If she is on level ground she just picks her feet up funny and also seems off balance. Mom of the other chickens do this.
I wanted to include a video of her and can not figure out how!
This is one of my 3 year old Langshans. She started doing this off balance stomp walk several months ago and I decided it must be a vitamin deficiencie so I gave her a few days of Poly Vi Sol drops. It seems to do the trick but now...
our local Feed store will have production black and reds soon. Are they sex linked? Even with the 90% pulley guarantee I have gotten some roosters in the past. I am tired of rehomimg them. I want a pulley guarantee. So I am looking at sex links. I also want good egg layers. Any experience with...
Yes I am super aware of this :). I have to get a hold of a hen and bring her out for kids to see which is not always easy. I will not even allow other adults in with him because they don't know how to be around him and he doesn't know them. Like I said he is not seriously aggressive but I don't...
Hello,
my name is Barbara and I live in Barhamsville Va. I have had chickens for going on 5 years now. I have 14 hens and one rooster (I also have three horses and two dogs). Last spring I got three Barred Rock 2 day old pullets and three Amberlinks and one of the Amberlinks turned out to be a...
