Dixie Chicks

BC, I haven't quite decided how to do the lid, but I think it would be better with using both of them and some insulation in between. Flappy doesn't have any red anymore, but he doesn't have skin there either, so it's quite an infection risk.

what about a round cut out made from Styrofoam. Or you might be able to use the same expanding foam in a form! I am bad at explaining...

Hate neti pods, tried once and failed miserably at it.. but if there are no other ideas I might have to try again

BC, I've got some 30mm aluminium coated PU board, that's what I'll cut it out of, but I'm not sure if I want the lid to all be one part, or if I'll make everything just sit there loosely.

Nice pictures vehve! My last springs chicks had a couple that were on the line for a while as far as telling if whether male or female. I only had 1 male out that bunch from the hatchery. However I had gotten 6 silkies and 4 were roos but they actually showed it by 12 weeks. They started crowing.

We have wild mulberry trees all over here. 2 good size ones overgrown and in the wrong locations will have to come down this spring. The hens will miss them.

BC I use a saline spray several times a day when my sinuses act up. Helps greatly.

Vehve forgot to add watere is looking great!

So I was thinking, if we hang the used fly papers in the chicken coop - would that be like a snack for 'em ?

Oh, no. No. No, no, no... Not unless you want to see a chicken tangled in the thing. If it came down you'd have a chicken mummy. If it remained hanging you'd have a chicken mobile.

Ted Nugent ... the Motor City Madman .... Detroit ...Michigan ....his home town, that's why his Sunrize Safaris is in Michigan.

When y'all first started talking Ted + bison my brain went to Ted Turner and I thought "Now, how does one wrangle that invitation?" Didn't even think of the Nuge. Isn't Ted Nugent's ranch in the southwest somewhere? (I'm thinking he has a spread in TX maybe)

I've used these in the barn. Never caught a chicken but I put them in the front away from the coop and up high. One very hot summer evening I left the big doors open just past dark to try and get some cooler air through it and caught a bat

I do use a Japanese beetle lure over a shallow container with water in it that serves as a chicken's beetle buffet in June and July.

I think we have the zombies covered already

All of that and all I absorbed was this robot chicken mask, vehve got some feed and outpost is getting a new job... I need more sleep... -yawn-

Sam, you missed the latest developments in my super awesome winter waterer too...


Got most of the extra insulation away, I'll wait for it to harden completely before I clean away the rest. Then I just need to make the lid, drill a hole for the cable and the nipples, and we're good to go. I think I might wait for the nipples from China to arrive though, no point in taking apart a perfectly functional waterer for nipples.

Hey where's the heat cable? Are you using heat tape?
