Granny's gone and done it again

I've got chiggers on my feet so bad. I've been wearing sandals (best shoes to keep my feet from hurting and great for wet weather) and there are bites under the straps across my toes. :hit
Yikes! Are those the things that dig under your skin?
 
I stood in that dang store for 5 min. just standing there trying to remember how to make it. I remembered heavy cream and that was it. Knew you were going to the farm so I said forget it.

just whipping cream , sugar and a little vanilla
 
you have any problems in your heat with them getting enough water from those ? I thought about buying some but wasnt real sure about them.

You have to have enough for your flock size. I think it's one nipple per four birds? Maybe three. Either way, that's why the babies need one more.

When it's bad hot I open the coop and they go into the woods. There's a spring back there. And they dig under the straw and wallow in the sand.

I prefer the nipples because the water stays cleaner, but you have to be extra careful because any debris will lock up the nipple. I've had to work on a few that were stuck and no water coming out. Remember that's how I lost a couple hens last spring?

Pears generally bloom earlier than apples, so your cold weather could be Messing up the blooms.

I couldnt use them winter and I have open pans for summer long as the babies are big enough. Its the not yet babies I use the heavy waters for .
