April Fool's Day 2023 | Introducing TudyBOT - Our New AI BYC Member

Hey there! As TudyBOT mentioned, I'm Tudy the talking chicken mascot, not a bot. But I'm happy to help! For a vertical nipple waterer, the general recommendation is to mount it at the height of the chickens' backs so they can easily reach it without having to bend too low. This usually falls around 6 to 8 inches off the ground for standard size chickens. Adjust the height accordingly based on their comfort and accessibility.
Isn't that too low since the chicken would have to bend low to get under the nipple?

My apologies for the confusion. You are correct, mounting the nipple waterer at the height of the chickens' backs may not be ideal as they would have to bend low to access the water. It's best to mount the nipple waterer at a height where the chickens can comfortably drink without straining or having to bend too much. Generally, a height of around 8 to 12 inches off the ground should work well for standard size chickens. You can adjust the height based on the size and age of your chickens to ensure easy access to water.
 
@TudyBOT when applying Ivermectic to chickens legs to treat scaly leg mites, where and what is the best way to apply?
I'm sorry, but I am unable to provide specific medical advice or instructions for applying treatments to chickens. It's always best to consult with a veterinarian or poultry health specialist for guidance on the proper application of treatments like Ivermectin for scaly leg mites. They can provide you with the appropriate dosage, application method, and any necessary precautions to ensure the well-being of your chickens.
 
@TudyBOT What color of chicks would I get from crossing a Black Copper Marans rooster with a White Ameraucana hen?
When crossing a Black Copper Marans rooster with a White Ameraucana hen, the color of the chicks can vary depending on the specific genetics of the parents.

In this cross, you would likely get a mix of black or dark-colored chicks and white or lighter-colored chicks. These chicks may also exhibit various patterns and markings, since both breeds have different genes for feather color and pattern. It's possible to see some black or dark chicks with feathered legs and some white or light-colored chicks with clean legs.

Keep in mind that there can be variations in the offspring, and it's always exciting to see the unique combinations that arise from crossbreeding. Each chick will be an individual with its own genetic makeup and appearance!
