    What is the best heated water bowl?

    This is my current watering system I built. I want to find a way to continue using it this winter as it is easy to fill since it is outside the coop. I am thinking of using a submersible heater in the bucket and heated pipe tape for the pipe that has the nipples on it. My only worry is the...

    Black Sex Link?

    So I am trying to figure out for sure what breed this is. Bought 2 at TSC as Black Sex Links along with a bunch of other chicks. I lost some when the tornado came through in March and we had no power for days with nights still in the 30's. I have other black chickens but I have these 2 with 5...

    Silver Queen Corn is up. Okra is up. Purple Hull peas, Blue Lake Green beans, Ford hooks are all breaking the soil. Squash and Zucchini are doing good. Cucumbers are a little slow. Peppers, tomatoes and herbs are all coming along.

    Help with new coop please!

    Wow! That is going to make one heck of a coop. No expert here but if you want to store your food inside I would use the area close to the walk in door. Keep that area free of debris for easy access. Use deep liter method. Plenty of room left for nesting boxes and roost. Looks like it does need...

    Coop done and moved my chicks

    No plans. Just had ideas in my head from looking at other coops and designed it as I built it. Also my nesting box door drops down. Seemed like the ones that the roof lifted would be more likely to leak water in to the nesting box. So mine drops down on the side and has 2 chains to hold it...

    Coop done and moved my chicks

    Finished up the coop for the most part. Still have some small things to do. Still have to put down my 2 foot barrier around the perimeter, build my feeder and my waterer but it is ready for the girls. Turned them out on Monday and they love it.

    Chicks with pasty butt.

    Next time add a little apple cider vinegar to their water or the electrolyte packages you can get at like Tractor Supply. Also when cleaning up, take a small bowl of warm water just deep enough to reach the chicks butt. Hold the chick in it, they will like the warm water, and use your fingers to...

    Keeping Chicks Warm Without Power

    Well we still have no power but they all are safe and sound this morning. Pulled the blankets off and slid them over in the sunshine and they are happy. I guess you call this early acclimation by necessity.

    Keeping Chicks Warm Without Power

    I have 2 week old chicks and our power has been off since 3 am. I put some large hand warmers in there covered with a little shavings at 4:00am. That seemed to keep them happy. When it warmed up this morning about 9 the sun was shining so I moved their brooder to where one corner was in direct...

    Lost power

    Bad storms here in NE Georgia early this morning and we lost power. That was 3:00 am this morning. Chicks are 2 weeks old today. I had some body size hardwarmers so I opened them and put under a little bedding in the brooder. They are located in the basement where there is a roll up door facing...
