    Do I need a heat lamp on my chicks

    I have heat lamp on them thanks every one for the prompt responses. They are all feathered up. So I was not sure. I am just going to be safe rather than sorry and keep it on one side of the box to keep it at 90F. If I notice they stay away from there then I will raise it or lower the wattage of...

    PVC pipe waterer question - connect direct to hose?

    I saw one in a magazine that hooked to the hose. They have a website countrysidemag.com check them out. I think you may even be able to find an article on how to do it yourself with a parts list. It was an old issue at a friends house where I first learned of them.

    Chicken that is a bandit

    I just caught one of my hens stealing the egg of another hen. Is this normal? I go out 2-3 times a day to check my girls and look for eggs so they don't freeze. I just happened to catch this. She is one that has not started laying yet so I really have no clue what is up with this. Any...
