I usually keep one by the feeder but sometimes another by the nest boxes.

I use pint size cage cups. You just have to put them somewhere it doesn't rain in them. They're only $1.25 each.

Computer fans are dirt cheap online if you have a 12 volt power supply. 120 volt fans aren't as common.

That's a good idea, though, here I would be refilling them daily I think lol. I use something like this for my turkeys. I just set it up on a table in their coop.

400


I have an extra one laying around that I may start using for the chickens too. My homemade one works but it's raggedy.

Or tomorrow.

I hate that we don't have early voting here in MO.
I went to my polling place right at 6AM. BIG mistake. I should have gone at 4 since I was awake already.
The line (in the rain) zigzagged through city hall, went out the door across and down the parking lot and out onto the road. Probably about 800 people.
What is insane about this and has me steaming is that in affluent west county there are no lines. You can walk right in, up to the machine and do your thing.
It would be different if this was the first time. It has been like this for the last 3 presidential elections. I waited 5 hours for one and 3 for another.
My wife has to leave for work at 7:30 so no way can she vote before work. She'll have to get in line by 7 and then possibly stand there till 8 or 9 tonight.
The majority of my neighbors are black. I'm convinced this problem is to limit the number of AAs that can vote. They still have to go to work. Republican dominated areas, no lines, Democrat dominated areas, hours in line. FIX IT ALREADY!!!

OK, really cheap then.

Oh wow, unbelievable! Even when we lived down in the city, or polling station line would only take a half hour to get through at the most. Up here, it's shocking if you have to wait in a line at all. I can't even imagine a line like that!

they are attracted to red blue and green..... this is why waterers are red blue or green

so add marbles to the food too, it cant hurt if he wont eat. oh and if you have silly hens that refuse to lay in the nest boxes and keep laying on the floor no matter what you try, fake eggs or whatever, try lowering nest box, adding a higher lip in front of the box and painting the inside bright red or blue..... see if they use it then...... and if you didnt know.... chickens have "one up on humans with eye site!"

That's interesting, but I don't recognize that as being one of my posts

awe thanks Mel! you are so nice, and thanks Sally! Mel, your offer to help me would be awesome, would you be able to help me maybe find one of these breeds? i can't really decide what breed i really want but i have always have had an interest in silkies, partridge silkies, and bantams (any kind). if you live anywhere where those breeds are found, let me know? because I've tried Meyer hatchery, my pet chicken do not have any available until like, may or something and the store near me that has chickens won't know what kind they are getting until like, 2 weeks before they come. I'm not old enough for Facebook, but my mom has been looking a little bit but so far nothing. okay diatribe over lol!
