    Replacing Gas Water Heater

    The energy guide paper stated that it's $284 vs $264 a year. It might not be applicable for me due to usage though https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rheem-Performance-Platinum-50-Gal-Tall-12-Year-40-000-BTU-ENERGY-STAR-Natural-Gas-Water-Heater-XG50T12DM40U0/204318411 vs...

    Replacing Gas Water Heater

    It's pretty easy once you know what you are doing :) It's quieter, more energy efficient and more user friendly. I wanted the energy star model with energy coefficient of 0.67 but they don't have it in store. I would have to wait 3 weeks for them to ship it to store or my house. Eh.. 3 weeks...

    Replacing Gas Water Heater

    All the lines are flexible (gas, cold + hot water) it's ok to reuse then I have to shorten the gas flue a bit since this tank is a bit taller due to the new regulations from 2015 (thicker insulation). We don't have the money for tankless water heater + we don't oftenn use the water heater...

    Possible injury ?

    We got them as chicks on 4/2016. One died around december 2016 and another around August-September of 2017. We bought 3 more baby chicks on October 2017 but I keep both groups separate for the last 9-10 weeks. The older hens are free roaming around the backyard while the younger ones are in...

    Possible injury ?

    She's limping now, after lying/standing still for the last 2-3 hr. She started to eat and drink now. I think she will be ok, it's probably a sprained leg ??? :)

    Unknown Cause of Death..

    another hen died today :( I'm down to 3 hens now (started out with 5). She was fine the evening before :/ I found her facing down in the run today in the afternoon. I noticed a lot of ants when I picked her up and moved her to the concrete area.

    Is this a case poisoning ?

    I saw this on the local news today. I'm just curious about what the owner is claiming I guess it's best to put a security camera along with a new flock in this case. Phoenix woman believes chickens were poisoned in backyard

    Not eating or drinking problem

    This hen is pretty picky with her food. She's the smallest in the flock. Well. she's doing better now after some straw-feeding of water. The tail feathers are standing back up again. now only if she will eat her food and not go in the nesting box again. It's getting hot here in AZ-- 105-106+...
