Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Devils Flower]

I have a quick question. I have no idea how to keep mosquitoes out of my chickens waterers. They have 3 5 gallon ones. Every time I open them up to clean and add fresh water in I get a face full of blood thirsty mosquitoes.

Add some apple cider vinegar to the water if your waterers are plastic.

I have one evening to finish. It's going to be tight. Nothing in this build has gone to plan. Everything is crooked.......

Chickies will ship today!

Meh, having everything square is overrated. Think of it as ‘character’!

I always have apple cider vinegar on hand but have never used it - my ladies love the mosquito larvae in the water and fish for them in the drinking area.
Luckily so far at least I have never faced them actually growing up into mosquitos!

Thank you.. They all are plastic

You know what they are going to be already. Thousands of pictures and videos to come!

Argh, this thread is going to get away from me again!

With all of this new chicken excitement, what would you enablers think of these next year?View attachment 2782959View attachment 2782960
If I get to pick colors I'd choose gold spangled and chamois to even up the black and white versus gold.

I particularly like the chamois colour although they're a beautiful chicken no matter what colour they are

I've called around with the sincere hope that exotic meant chicken too. No luck. My dogs' vet recommended one of their competitors, and that practice recently lost their vet that treated chickens.
I live in too urban of an area to have access to a farm animal vet.

Avian was where I went. There's only one in my city as far as I know.

Pour chicken lady is a bit jealous and gets in between me and my turkeys. Chicken Lady is my oldest and dearest hen. She is over 8 years old and still gives me eggs. She let's me know when she needs some loves and cuddles. She doesn't want to be touched until she wants to be touched. and she talks up a storm.
