Oh cooler would be nice. I'm going to out a five gallon bucket inside of a metal trash can with small holes so I can leave it outside of the coop and get the drink out of my garage! The trash can has a lock too.
I started my first batch today . I used all poultry flock got now due to I don't have layers yet and was out of chick start. I put half feed and half water in a five gallon bucket. What smell is good and what smell is bad... Alcohol smell?
Leslie I have been reading and I also have a family of five and a full farm. Most people aren't saying how much feed for the amount of chicks I have. I asked questions that i felt weren't answered completely.
Thanks to everyone else for clarifying.
So I have 80 chicks ranging from a week old to 6 weeks. I give unmedicated chick crumble. They waste a ton and it is driving me nuts. I don't know how much feed to put in and how much water??? I'm confused on how to make this? Also can I use a five gallon Home Depot bucket? Do I cover it? I keep...
