Ok so today was a tough day- I got home and guess why I found-
400

That's the 1 gallon feeder I use to feed three chickens.... The ground ( might be hard to tell) is covered in WASTED feed because they spilt it all witch is ok BUT they spilt there waterer so now the feed was wet so they refused to eat it... Witch attracted BUGS they were EVERYWHERE on the floor, In the air, in the poop, it was horrible an I got angry ( witch once again I don't get angry alot so that's how much of a mess it was)
So my solution was to go back in the woods an find a old pipe feeder that we used to hunt deer out of an I was gonna fill it up with feed an put it in there with the chicken so they won't make such a mess... Well u can guess it gets worse... So the pipe feeder is strapped to a big tree with METAL straps...

OFCORSE that's what I find.... Ahhhhhh I was so mad that some people would go though the effort to take a pipe down!!! I mean its just a pipe!!! There is no way you could tell it was used to hunt with!! What guy goes though the woods an thinks " oh there a pipe... Strapped to a tree I'm gonna go tare it down an do what ever I do with pipes with it" plus even worse this ain't the frist time.. Last time they stole a trail camra ( that I got my dad for his B- day ) an a climber ( that we were borrowing ) so now at this time I was sooooooooooo mad... So I called up my good ole father an he said to just put dirt over the run. So I did. But the problem was that I can't ever compact it down enough.. Well this time I did... With a cement brick that was really heavy ( I got chicken work done plus a work out) take a look

The bottom part of the pic is compact dirt an the top part is unpacked dirt an plus you can see my cement brick!!!
So I still had the water problem so I took my brick an set it in the coop an then I put the waterer ontop of it an put rocks around the base so they can stand on the rocks an drink water!!!

Thanks for letting me share my day an I hope you like my idea about putting the rocks in with the cement brick an waterer because I think it was kinda cool that I thought of that!!! ;) :)

I'm glad you were able to get it cleaned up! Those bricks are heavy. I have some that I used to mark the spots where the fence is cut for my roosters. Our hens can all climb through the goat yard fence to wander the yard, but the roosters couldn't. So I cut the fence and put the bricks there so they knew where to get out. It works really good, but the bricks are insanely heavy! At least you got a good work out ;) lol

I hang my feeders/waterers on plastic chains from the roof of my run. They can't spill, and the water stays MUCH cleaner!

I've always used open top 3 gallon buckets for my chickens water. When it's full they can't spill it, and it makes it MUCH easier for my hen named Henny who is half blind in both eyes. The water gets dirty sometimes though. I just have to refresh it a couple time per day.

I want so badly to have outside inside! Ya know what I mean? I'm gonna start with making my room green, blue, and brown. And I'm gonna also try to find some sheets with a tree/leaf pattern on them! And I'm gonna get a bunch of house plants and put them all around, and picture of my chickens are gonna be everywhere! I'm also hoping to get a window in my room that I can look out and see my chickens every morning when I wake up! I'm gonna make my room as green and chickenny as possible!

Thank you!!!!!!
 
Yay!!!! Monday it's supposed to be 76 degrees! Now I'll be able to clean the garage and get my brooder set up, and I'll be able to trim my goats hooves and possibly shave them to get rid of their lice. It's almost May and its STILL cold here. I'm really excited now that it's starting to warm up! I hope it stays that worm up until May 7th when my chicks ship.
