    What should I feed my chickens? And how should I water them?

    I just recently got two chickens and though I have some experience with chickens in the past I have no idea what I should feed them or if there's a special way I should give them water. Some chickens kinda just wandered into my yard and I've looked for their owners but nobody has claimed them...

    How can I keep my biddies’ water clean?

    I have 2 chicks, about 2 weeks old I’d say, as well as a couple ducklings. They are constantly soiling their water. I’m changing it every couple hours or so now... I’m wondering if there’s any way I can keep their water clean, litter dry, and avoid waking up to thirsty chicks at 4:30 in the morning.

    bleach for water sanitation?

    I keep a few quail on my property and I fill/change their 1 quart water holder every one or two days, can I put one or two drops of bleach in their water to keep it from getting smelly? I know minute amounts of bleach can be used to purify water for humans but will it harm a quail?

    Are you freezing water containers for your chickens or am I alone in this

    So I have been filling empty jugs and 2 liters for the up coming high heat coming the next couple of days. I do not have electricity in my coop. Too far from the house. So I figure ice packs the size of milk jugs should do nicely.

    Proper water for chickens

    Given a choice between a freshly poured bowl of sparkling clean water and a one-inch-deep puddle of muddy slop they themselves are standing in, your typical chicken will choose the muddy slop every time.

    Do Chickens Like to Get Into Water?

    I have a container that is low to the ground for my chicken to drink from. I have never seen her do it, but it looks like she may actually get into the container from time to time. I say that because there is constantly a lot of dirt and sand in the bottom of the container, and it's not in a...

    What type of eggs are these!?

    I was out kayaking today and came across a nest! It was super cool. I can’t for the life of me figure out what it belongs to though! The eggs are long and narrow and about the size of a silkie egg, and speckled. The nest was right out in the water, what do you guys think it is??

    Do you help your birds keep cool?

    My bigger birds learned about the delights of wading in water to cool off but my younger birds are staying under the low, bushy palms when temps hit 95 degrees. I just ordered this mister and I'm going to set it up over that palm. Have you tried a mister or do you have any other techniques for...
