    Our automatic chicken waterer!!

    I have this same waterer for our goats and it's been great, has held up well. I keep a toilet-style brush nearby for quick little scub-downs, which keeps the algae at bay and the water fairly clean. For chickens, however, I'd definitely build some sort of cover. It just seems too open for chickens.

    Your Opinion: Best Hanging Waterer?

    What did you settle on? I'm looking too, and also have long, hot summers to consider. I'd love to find something wall-mounted, definitely automatic.

    Hen hunched over and looking sick! Please help!

    My bird looks better today...not 100%, but I'm more confident that she will survive. When we let her out of the "chicken hospital" for a little walk today she walked better and flapped her wings like she felt better.

    How long do chickens live?

    Well, I don't think I'll want to eat my own post-productive chickens, but I don't really object to someone else eating them. I do a rotation, adding 2 or 3 birds each year, and taking them out once they are done laying. We have a sub-population in our region that will take them and process for...

    Hen hunched over and looking sick! Please help!

    Sorry for the slow reply. My girl is still alive, but doesn't seem well. She does eat enthusiastically when I offer scrambled egg, which I take as a good sign. I have read all the articles shared here. I really think that my hen has/had a broken egg inside of her. I am hoping that she can escape...

    Hen hunched over and looking sick! Please help!

    Mine is moving a bit better than yesterday, and interested in eating, but my other birds were definitely ganging up on her, so we separated her out. On the way now to get some electrolytes. She has signs of yolk inside of her. ..yolk-like poop, fluffed feathers, closing her eyes while standing...

    Hen hunched over and looking sick! Please help!

    How is your hen? I just came in from my yard, where I found one of my hens with very similar symptoms. Of course, by first thought was to consult BYC for some idea as to how to proceed and found this thread.
