    Watering Nipples - How High?

    It's worked out really well and I've had no trouble with it since hooking it up. I'm very happy with it. One day I may even hook up a low pressure regulator to it and eliminate the bucket. For now though, all is great. :)

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    Here's our first egg from a little over a month ago. Our little girl was very happy her pet chickens were laying eggs. :D All five of our girls are now laying now.

    I think that is an awesome idea and that's what I'm gonna do. I swear I nearly lose it every time she asks me when her friend Fuzzy Butt is coming home. Thank you so much for the idea. I think she'll eventually figure it out, when she's a little older, but I'm hoping she'll understand. I'm not...

    Over the holiday break our dog managed to get under the fence and into the run. Thankfully all the neighborhood kids love our chickens as much as we do. They came running, banging on the door, to let us know our Sally Dog was now Sally Dog the Killer. Fortunately we only lost one of our six and...

    Watering Nipples.

    Like wyododge said, they do drip a bit. I put a scrap piece of 2x4 underneath to soak up the drips. Works great and keeps my shavings dry.

    Post pic of your nipple waterers!

    I ordered mine online as well. I got 10 for under $10 from this guy. Here's my setup. It's been hooked up and running for a couple months now with no problems. All these photos were taken before the girls were moved in. They took right to the nipples and it's made watering them super...

    Added a sand box today and they are eating it

    I have an old cat litter box that would be great as a dust bath so I'm totally stealing this idea. Do you put just play sand inside for that?

    My Christmas Chicken Beanie!

    I guess I fail at thoroughly embarrassing him since he did allow me to tag him on Facebook.

    My Christmas Chicken Beanie!

    So most of my friends and family now know I've gotten a bit obsessed with my chickens. I think they think it's a bit weird but I'm okay with that. Especially when they give me cool stuff like this to embarrass my son by actually wearing! Chicken hat by Quietly Scheming, on Flickr My...

    Chicks Moved to the Coop!

    Quote: They're actually just over 4 weeks old so I'm not quite comfortable with taking away the heat bulb just yet since they aren't fully feathered up. I do plan on taking it away eventually but I think I'll give it a few more weeks with the temps getting down to the 30's. Quote: Thanks...

    Found a lighting solution for my small coop

    I was thinking of using fluorescent bulbs but this is a great alternative that I didn't occur to me. Thanks.

    The coop is almost finished, but I want to move it!

    I have a 6ftx8ft coop (a converted kids playhouse ) made from very sturdy 2x4's and 2x8's. It's heavy to say the least. I moved it by myself with a 2 inch pipe, a car jack, a few 12x12 concrete pavers and 2 old bed casters. I dug under the front and used the floor jack to lift the front end. I...

    Chicks Moved to the Coop!

    Quote: Nope, it's actually ziptied to a heavy eye hook on a ceiling beam. Very secure. Fred's Hens : Hindsight, but you could have brooded in the coop and skipped the hall way closet altogether. big_smile Frankly, after another 10 days of acclimation, you could pull that heat lamp...

    Chicks Moved to the Coop!

    So after living in my hallway closet, after 4 weeks, we decided to move them to the coop. The wife is preggo right now and has the super nose. She walked by the closet door while I was checking in on them one day and I thought I was going to have to clean up another mess. Anyway, they're...
