Icelandic Chickens

[kathyinmo]

DH made a long feeder like that out of PVC pipe and wood blocks at the end. He also put a "roller bar" on top so they could not perch on it.

Do you like it? Did it work well for you?

I lke it but for the fact the chickens kept kicking shaving into it.

I am having an awful time trying to post and load pages on BYC today. Anyone else having trouble today? It took me nearly an hour to load those few pictures.

I was having trouble the day before yesterday till about 3 pm yesterday.


Can you see the feeder below the table?

You can kinda see in this picture. The waste isn't too bad. Of course, they do still waste it, but not as bad in these.
(These are my F2 Project birds..... Project Delaware)

Wow, Kathy, your F3s oops, F2s are looking really nice!!

I have two feeders like these that I use for my meat birds each year. They are too lazy to bill feed and need alot of room so these work great. I have one that is similiar but a bit different that I like for the Icelandics. It is an "older" version that I picked up at a farm sale. I'll have to get a picture of it tomorrow.

In other news, I candled the 6 eggs that I gave Krystal (the broody white Java pullet) and all 6 are developing nicely.

She was not happy with me checking them, but I got away without blood being drawn! Also, since Joyous hasn't posted it here yet....she candled the 32 eggs she got from me and 31 are developing!!

I did take a few pictures, though nothing fabulous.

this boy is the prime example of what a Wild type bird on a eb(partridge) background should look like(dont´mind his "golden" color)

I like that, Laura! And, you have given me an idea! I have a bunch of PVC pipe in my junk pile!

I made this feeder last weekend, and liked it so far, they can't waste the feed-
