    Feeder Designs

    Hi does anyone have any spring feeder designs you can show me please. I plan on making spring feeders for my chickens and pheasants and obviously the plastic barrel with open screw top is the easiest way of making one but I can get hold of these 25ltr barrels a lot cheaper, I guess one way of...

    Drinker designs

    Currently I have a 100litre water butt raised up with about a 3mm diameter pipe running from the water to 3 bell drinkers with a larger pipe connecting to them. I find that the pipe is too narrow and any debris blocks the pipes easily. Leaving no water in the drinkers. I plan on getting a...

    What could this be

    It appears to me she has sour crop, to treat it put your chicken in a warm & quiet area holding her upside down and gently massage her crop in the direction of the head. Putting apple cider vinegar with yogurt or olive oil in the water is a great way.

    UV light pond cleaner

    I’ve been told to purchase a uv light to clean green water in the pond. The pond is 5000litres and it would cost £260 for one of these uv light kits from oase. Is there another reliable brand/product that will do the job but cheaper? Or is £260 what I’m going to have to pay to keep the water...

    How long to wait

    Depends really on how secure your coop is, if they are likely to get attacked by any sort of predator including rats then I suggest you either move the hen and chicks to somewhere safer or you raise them yourself. Also comes down to what breed of chicken she is. Some are good mothers some aren’t.

    Need Help Pheasant Experts

    I agree with Tony, breeding pheasants should be keep to a ratio of around 6:1. Any less than that the cock birds will fight to the death.

    eggs from incubator to hatcher

    In the hatcher I’d lay all the eggs out on their side. Temp and humidity is different in the hatching period. However if your hatching just one batch you can use the incubator as a hatcher changing the humidity and temp accordingly and turning the cradle off prior to hatching, this enables the...
