I like to have multiple waterers for my birds and this is an excellent option for a second waterer for the cold weather! You never know when any option that uses electricity will fail and this seems like a good backup plan to what I already have. Thank you for the well written article!
The technical information is very helpful to those wanting roosters, but are hesitant due to the crowing. Even if you choose not to add the tech accessories, just knowing that reducing the sound with insulation and building techniques is possible, helpful and adapatable to most coops especially...
Awesome! I thought about insulating a section of my coop for a rooster but wasn't sure it would help. I may have to reconsider. I wouldn't hook up all the tech stuff, but just seeing the difference has me thinking it's possible to reduce the sound quite a bit!
Thank you for an excellent article! I did not know about the shatterproof bulbs but in the interest of safety I probably would have bought them in the future had I not read this.
Thank you! 1-30-2018 I just saw this. Good luck with the mink ranch next door. We have minks along the creek that runs right next to the property. They're less than 300 feet away and have had no issues with them. This last year though it's been coyote, fox, and a hawk. Hoping for a better year...
Thanks @Alaskan ! Awesome looking does! Wish I could get a couple. But I'll just have to be content not having more animals to take care of.
I'm not organic either. I wish though but I couldn't afford to go organic with the price of eggs in my area. No one would pay for them. And I couldn't...
Morning (just barely). Been up since 3am so a little more needy in the coffee department.
@chickisoup Aweome article! I agree being organic takes more. Quite a bit more than many people think.
@Alaskan Congrats on the does. Can you bring me up to speed on what kind? Thanks!
Hi everyone! It's been a loonnngggg time! But I'm still around. sort of. I've been extra busy with family matters. Seems like one after another this past year. It's been a long year for all the family and looks like another one ahead.
I've really missed time with the coffee crew and BYC...
