    How do you manage iced water?

    Do you keep the dish turned on all day/night? I just bought one (first time chicken keeper) and am worried about what happens if the water is gone but the bowl is still turned on. Do you dump the extra water each night and put new water in in the morning and turn the bowl on? The one I bought is...

    Chicken run

    Sorry if this is hard to really see. This is what we ended up doing to modify it.

    Chicken run

    I have one of these. Currently interested in seeing how it fares through the winter. It was awful to put together, just FYI. Took us two days. We also bought caging wire you'd use for rabbits and wrapped the bottom third with it. We had to figure out a different mechanism for keeping the door...

    Chicken art

    Also— what do you use for collage paper? Have you ever heard of gelli printing? I make tons of just “scrap” background pieces with mine.

    Chicken decor

    That is so cute! My first instinct would be to look on Etsy for something similar to support the artist (almost) directly. The price point is eh for me but I’m a cheap-o.

    When to remove heat plate from brooder?

    What kind of chicks do you have? I feel like mine were like 3 weeks before I saw feathers. But I’d have to look back at the 100s of pictures of them, haha. I didn’t put them in the coop until they were 8 weeks. We hadn’t had it done and it was still getting super cold at night so I was hesitant...

    Super proud of this…

    Mine is JOIONE. I’d never heard of it before. I wouldn’t buy it again, that’s for sure. But it’s the size I wanted- 6.5’ x 9.8’.

    Super proud of this…

    Hey all! I bought a coop and run “house” from Amazon and finally got it together. I now understand why people just build their own! Ha. We ended up needing to alter it and do major reinforcement to it. But I am super proud of how it turned out! (I am a first time chicken mom to four 8 week olds.)

    When to remove heat plate from brooder?

    That’s what I did! They liked to use the thermometer as a place to sit as well :rolleyes: I just got a cheap plastic one at Home Depot and it worked just fine. @Devorah I ended up leaving my heat plate in there until they were about 6 weeks old. My house was a consistent 72 degrees inside. At...

    When to remove heat plate from brooder?

    Three of the four are starting to sleep on the top of it. My smallest girl still goes under it quite often. The heat settings are only "heater" and "brooder." Heater is like 80-90 degrees and brooder is lower but I don't know how much lower - I'd have to look into it. It only raises up slightly...

    When to remove heat plate from brooder?

    Hi all! First post here on BYC, I have been a lurker for some time. I have adventured into raising chicks for the first time. Long story short- had 6 in my basement with heat plate but it was too cold and I lost two. Now the other four are in my living room with the heat plate and doing well...
