    Nipple vs. cup waterers and auto fill

    Hello everyone, I have recently switched to cup and horizontal nipple drinkers. After years and years of filthy water in no end of different drinkers, I thought there had to be a better way. I found the horizontal nipples online from the only vendor this side of the pond. I bought 8 and...

    How Much DE (Diatomaceous Earth) Should I Feed My Chickens

    Hi ConPollos, Yes, I am well-aware of the oil/sulphur mixture. I keep a 25 litres drum of oil (acquired from a well-known Shire breeder who has a side-line in selling "Shire Oil" for feathered legs) to which I add sulphur as needed.

    Hi, hensanity, It's hotter here than Hawaii, right now. I gave my birds ice cubes with their afternoon meal. They pecked them and watched the ice disappear. Texas in summer must be unbearable. When we lived in Hawaii, 90 degree heat and higher always made headlines. Stay cool...
