    Water supply for chickens in cold climates

    A few years back, I started the chicken habit, and the people on this forum helped me a lot with starter ideas. One of the ideas was a water supply for the chickens that was not susceptible for freezing weather. I ended up with a *system* that worked but never figured that some day, everything...

    Algae in water supply

    I have a chicken watering system as shown in this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/937220/share-your-inovative-ideas-here#post_14350776 The water supply in the outside container is always clear (filtered 24/7) The water supply in the inside container is also clear, but the bucket is...

    Storage of chicken feed (mice problem)

    I never had problems before. The bag(s) of feed, were just sitting on the patio on a wooden board. Lately I have found small holes eaten thru the bag, and mice droppings inside the bag and around the bag. The solution, I think, I have found is to either put all the feed onto a large plastic or...

    Glad I *found* this section of this forum !

    I live in Taylorsville and am surprised how many people in Utah actually do keep chickens. I say this due to the *regulations* I ran into ...

    How regular do chickens lay eggs ?

    I started early this year with our first 4, 5-day-old chicks. Followed many of the suggestions posted all over the net, and soon the chicks started laying. I have three chicks left (one got killed by a dog ...) Before they started laying, I did not have a nesting box ready. They pooped at the...

    Not just for the chickens, but seeing the grand-kids enjoy them ...

    A friend started me on this, and I decided to *dangit, do it* ! So after months of lurking on the net, I decided to make my own instead of buying a chicken abode. Had a great time doing it with one of our 5 year old grand-sons *helping* me. Pic of *about* what it looks like in the coop pictures...

    My first try at home building a Chicken abode (after reading for months all about chickens)

    I chose a triangular shape, because that is the easiest shape to make which is stable. (No need for braces or trusses) The raw materials are all stock size or stock length, like 4 x 8 feet plywood and 10 foot long electrical conduit, and cut into two pieces - no waste ! The floor size of the...
