Check amazon - they have a 1.5 gallon dish that works great. For $27- you can't beat the price. It only uses 25watts when needed.

I buy only local grown barley, wheat, oats, and corn for my chickens. This is just about all they need except for the treats, table scraps, and free ranging. Don't buy pellet food for your chickens. It doesn't even get processed. It turns to liquid and passes right through them and ends up...

Chickens have been around for thousands of years and they didn't have special layer food for them. Now all of sudden the industry wants us to believe that we have to have this stuff. Your balanced diet of grains, greens and scraps will be even better for them. Just remember to provide extra...

You don't need layer feed for your layers. That is what the food producers want you to believe. I feed mine a mixture of barley, oats and cracked corn with free choice oyster shell. That is all they need to lay eggs. I'm getting almost 90% production out of my hens. Also I feed them table...

How much food do you think you can put in your feeders? I really like them.

I ordered from QC Supply online and got both kinds - The one piece orange ones and the 2 piece take apart nipples. The take apart nipples are the worst. My hens keep knocking the metal weight that holds the nipple in place right out of the housing and all the water drains out. The one piece...

I ordered a water bowl off Amazon for $25- with Free shipping. It holds 1.5 gallons and services up to 15 birds.

Order the one piece nipples- I believe they are orange in color- The nipples that come apart are terrible and don't work very well. I put 4 one piece nipples in a 5 gallon bucket and my chickens took to it within 5 hours. Works great and the water never get nasty. Put a light fixture...

I'm feeding them Broiler Grower- I think I'm going to try and cut their feed back to twice daily and see if their legs catch up with the body weight.

To anyone that raises cornish x- rocks- what do you do to keep their legs from shutting down on them? They can't even stand up on their own and I don't think they are going to make it past 4 wks. Any ideas would be great-

We have a local farmer here in Palmer, AK that grows the barley and sells it from his house. I mix if with 20% layer and the hens have been doing fine. I switched them over a few months ago and haven't noticed any changes in egg production. I have friends that feed their hens straight barley...

Feed them Barley. We buy it for .12 per pound and the hens love it. Plus it makes the eggs taste a lot better. Your feed costs will go down by almost half if you have a barley out for them at all times.

I'm in the same boat with the extension cord idea. If you get a heavy duty cord that is wrapped well, you can dig a little trough about 3 inches deep and bury the cord. I haven’t had any problems with moisture or electrical problems. This is a cheap way to introduce power to you coup. Now...
