Just a little scoping and I found the horizontal/side mount poultry nipples for waterers - anyone here use those? They look like a huge improvement on what I had in the past!
I just realized that my signature has my old chicken breeds in it - I need to change that. *sigh*
Anyway! My husband and I got the top of the run wired up - put wire across the top to keep intruders out from the top, and tightened the chain link around the sides. The coop & kennel are under the...

My husband found me when I wasn't really looking, and he's completely different from the jerks I've picked before! He's pretty awesome. I have a 16 (almost 17) year old daughter who drives me crazy ;)

Faery, what'd you have? My muscles and joints have been so sore I can literally barely move. I thought it was getting better last night but now I'm way worse today. I've neglected my fish water changes, my husbands taking care of the dogs & big chickens and I shuffle outside huddled in...

But you see, the issue is that I told them I wouldn't be *enabled*.
That's okay...everybody knew you would want at least one and we ar all enablers here.

Give 'em a few... most of them aren't like me, with the ability to just yap all I want (well, most of the time... )
I'm trying really hard NOT to be enabled. Even by free birds.
Wait. Free bird. Lynyrd Skynryd. Bad me.
