    New Chicken Waterer Design: Insulated Bucket. Yay or Nay?

    My chickens have no problem reaching the bucket to get a drink; of course they are good sized birds, my roo is pretty big. I used to have leghorns and even they didn't struggle to reach the water. They obviously can't reach the bottom of the bucket, but I always change their water before it gets...

    New Chicken Waterer Design: Insulated Bucket. Yay or Nay?

    I'm thinking of using the Fortiflex buckets, you know, the little 2 gal buckets. I have one that I'm using now. It does freeze fast...I've never had a nipple waterer before, what would be the benefit? Wouldn't the nipple part freeze?

    New Chicken Waterer Design: Insulated Bucket. Yay or Nay?

    Good evening! In my Engineering class, students were given the challenge to design a product that is innovative--a product that will improve the way we do things. My first thought went straight to my chickens, and how their water freezes so fast this time of year. I live in rural New England...

    >Hen Attacked Younger Pullets, What's Next?<

    Does everyone suggest waiting until the chicks are fully grown before making the introduction? I had the same luck today, except it was one of my other golden comets who attacked the chicks. I also have an even younger group of pullets to introduce to them, and this makes me nervous. I could...

    Couldn't agree more! I may end up rehoming her if she doesn't get her act together.

    >Hen Attacked Younger Pullets, What's Next?<

    Gofygure, I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. It sounds like golden comets aren't the best birds. They are excellent layers but seem to be a bit...socially challenged.

    >Hen Attacked Younger Pullets, What's Next?<

    Good evening, I have 6 hens that recently turned a year old in April, an assortment of Golden Comets and Leghorns. I introduced them to the pullets I have, who are just over two months old. The leghorns and the pullets met a couple days ago. The grow-out brooder has been next to the coop and...

    A useful idea for coop/run in perches

    This sounds like an awesome idea--thanks for starting this thread! I use 2x4's for roosts (chilly winters in NE, and they help keep their feet warm), I wonder if putting some sandpaper on the bottom of the 2x4 and/or on the sides would help maintain nail length as well? Hmm..

    Pea gravel in the run?

    I had the same thing happen to me! About how big is that run, would you say? I've wondered if pea gravel would work, too.

    Rookie Coop Building Mistakes?

    When I built my first coop I didn't take ventilation into consideration. Currently I only have one small window, about 6", and a small vent on my coop. It gets very warm in there in the summer months.

    Chick Had Pasty Butt, Now Has Prolapse. Best Method of Treatment?

    Hi there, I bought a handful of chicks from Tractor Supply on Thursday. My young black Australorp pullet, who is 4 days old today, had pasty butt when I brought her home. I cleaned her up with some warm water and noticed that she had prolapse (I researched it and am nearly positive this is...
