Mehjr10, if you are looking for a worry free waterer take a look at thethirstybird.com and see what you think. I have had mine up in the coop for two years now without any more than a look inside once a year to see if it needs cleaned but is has remained as clear and clean as the day I put it...

Well I was going to start my Barley Fodder today but the feed store where I orderded it let someone else have it and so I have to wait a couple more weeks to start the Fodder Experiment, oh well. On the up side my 10 new Australorp chicks are growing like crazy and are in the main coop inside a...

Wow what a great thread pawtraitart, I am picking up a 50# bag of barley feed tomorrow and will try to start growing fodder for the girls and see if they like it. I was told not to buy barley seed as it may have growth chemicals and fertilizer in it and I do not want to feed that to my girls.

dchurch, take a look at thethirstybird.com, I am using two of them right now and I never worry that my girls have to drink dirty water. Once The Thirsty Bird is installed and hooked to your hose or faucet your girls will have clean water all year long with no more cleaning poopy dishes and...

Gatorfreak, take a look at thethirstybird.com, that's what I use and I have not had to clean a water bowl in over one year. Mine has been through two winters and no problems, I live in N. California near Redding where it can get into the low 20's and teens at times. Mine is inside the coop and...

I will use the Frostex brand of self regulating pipe heater tape as it needs no thermostat and turns itself on and off as needed, it also comes with ground fault switch and stainless steel webbing on the outside so it looks real durable. Will post if I have to go this route as to how well it...

I have had mine out all this winter here in Anderson CA. It is inside the coop that has three sides covered, temps here in the winter sometimes get down into the low 20's and I have had no freezing problems so far this winter. I also have a Thirsty Bird that is hanging out in the open so the...

Yes, it comes with a hose adapter to the 1/4" hose, they also sell a water pressure regulator if your water pressure is over 60 psi and I am using the Thirsty Chick for my new chicks. Now there is no way my chicks can drown or get sick from drinking contaminated water. The Thirsty Bird has an...

Rich, I have not seen these type of chicken nipples that don't leak, can you give me some more information on them? I am using another brand but they drip occasionally as do most of them, what water pressure can you put to yours as I see you have them installed in a PVC pipe system? Thanks for...

Thanks for all the welcome's everyone it's good to see how many people are still interested in doing for themselves and helping others. I will update when I get my new chicks set up in the pen. I will be getting my garden started again for the summer so the girls will be waiting for their share...

Eggstravaganza, I am currently using The Thirsty Bird.com waterer for my flock and it works great. I never have to worry that my girls are without water when I am gone or during the hot Summers we have. I just hung The Thirsty bird up as per directions and hooked it up to a faucet and that is...
