I probably get algae because we have well water and our weather is hot, hot! Even in my collection barrels I get it growing unless I add a good bit of ACV to it. Of course, that is only in the summer. My 1 gal. water containers get it in one day but I have to refill them so scrub them out anyhow.
I so badly want watering time to be easy but so far we have not had much success. But I am listening and reading all I can to make it simpler for me and the birds. the more time I have for the birds the better!

That is awesome that you lost power but still got a hatch. They are adorable!

My big fear...losing power! Incubators and brooders are set on a generator though I still am paranoid when it is super hot or super cold.

Cochins are addictive. I'm betting Louie will have some cochin companions soon.

looks like a cross between a birchen and maybe a partridge?

How about birchen/silver pencil maybe?

From what I've been told Lemon Blue is a cross between blue and red/brown. Haven't tried it yet but I'd love to start a project
