you are heating your brooder yes?

no way to tell yet. Look at the comb in a few weeks though. Got a picture?

Thanks! a neat thing about Wheaten Marans - you can easily sex them at 2 weeks! Males have Dark Black feathers. a mostly male batch I hatched out a while back:

almost two weeks old and first time out of the pen! New Wheaten Marans chicks!

almost two weeks old and out of the pen for the first time (with mom supervising)

Purina is the more expensive of the two where I live.

I sure am. I'm actually finishing up one for a friend now!

Hmm i'm not sure what's wrong with the picture thingie.... I'll try again: I'll post the other feeder I'm working on when it's finished. Edit: someone messaged me asking if it was adjustable, yes it is! The canister is attached by a threaded rod and it can be lowered or raised to adjust...

No evidence around, but I just went back to breeding to the grandpa roo.

if you're talking about diameter you are correct. Yeah i experimented with shallower trays (looks better!) but the deeper ones prevent a lot of the spill over.

I never did order them, but I'm still wondering if they might be a good idea.

same here... no eggs. also, someone came to the yard in broad daylight and stole my nicest Roo I was saving to breed to my 3rd generation. All the hens were left in the pen untouched. Very frustrating. Runaway, if you have an extra male here in Florida, I would surely like to get one...

White. or slate grey I guess.

My chicks have had feathered legs pretty consistently with every hatch. sorry.

The LCross auction outside of Okeechobee always seems to have bantams for sale. It's the 2nd and 4th Friday of every month.

You're right! the cone is not in this feeder, this is one we set together to test the parts. The inverted funnel was left out. There are two brackets, with a welded nut on one of the brackets. The second one is there to prevent the canister from wobbling. There is a hole in the bottom of the...
