    Any RCers out there? (Remote Control/FPV)

    Hey all! Just wondering if any of you, like me, love the hobby of RC and/or FPV. If so, do you drive (car/buggy/truck), fly (heli, multirotor/FPV racing, airplane), or float (boat)? Personally I have driven RC cars since as long as I can remember and flown multirotors/quadcopters for the...

    Ready or not?

    Hey peeps! So I got a beautiful white silkie who just started laying. Off and on, she would sit on the eggs layed by she and our other faithful RIR, and now she is in the box about 24/7, brooding 'duds'. It is almost December here in northern Utah. We have no roosters (so the eggs are not...

    To buy or not to buy?...

    Hey guys, I have a Self Blue D'Uccle Bantam rooster who is one of my favorites. We want to get him a no-crow collar for a couple reasons, but one is to not upset the neighbors.

    PVC Waterer

    Here's what we did: We have a PVC pipe square with poultry nipples at the bottom. Just pour in the upper hole and voila! To get your chickens to drink out of the nipples, shine a laser on the tip of it: they should peck it.
