These are nice. There is something so comforting about seeing and watching a yard full of chickens going about doing their things. Like you, I've been working on integrating, segregating, and setting up new coops for groups. I sold some older hens, but not ALL the eldest, gave away many, both hens and Roos, and I've been trying to set up breeding groups. Integrating groups is not always an easy or smooth operation. One of my coops sorted out just like yours: three on one side of the divider, and a dozen or so on the other; the two Roos...The real problem, though, was with the cockerels. Oh well, I know how much struggle and effort it can take to integrate chickens and how relieving it can be when things work out. Congratulations on finally getting it done!
This is my test of a fish tank heater in my water busket. The heater is heavy buty metal so i wanted to make sure it wouldent melt the busket. The over night test instde is a pass now to put it out when the cold comes
I have not tryed it outside yet. This weekend is suposed to be colder so i will try it out this weekend. Last night and today is testing still. I had to add a fish tank air bubbler cuz the water was hot on top and cold at the bottom of the busket. Trial and error I will get it sooner or later hopefully sooner.
nice, does the heater have a thermostat? If not you could try a thermal cube...let us know how it works. What is the watts of the heater?Na the heater sticks to the side of the busket cuz its to long to lay flat on the bottom. I used air bubble to circulate the water around
