looks great. How did you set up the nipples with the tees? I have some coming in the mail, and I'm curious what tee is being used for these.
thanks,

Did you bury your fence? I have a lab and boykin and both were overcome with instinct. I built my run out of welded wire and buried it two feet. Once they realize they cant get to the chicks theyll stop trying. Negative reinforcement helps too. Shock collar etc.
U have to recreate the vacuum somewhere. You maybe able to use your water hose as the vacuum enforcer by turning it off at the supply but all holes have to be sealed and ur hose will deflate from the vacuum pressure as water is removed from the bottom.
Why did u multiply a years worth of eggs by 12? Just divide the 200 by 52 and the answer is a better 3-5 eggs per week per hen. However most production breeds lay 5-7 per week and they add up quickly. Craigslist neighbors family etc. Noone u know should ever have store bought eggs again :)
Thanks for the replies. Here is what I grabbed with my phone. I can get a closer one if you want. She (hopefully) was a reddish brown color as a chick. I think I have a picture somewhere. I'll post it when I find it.
