Yes. for the feed inside the coop, we use 4" pvc. They can't pull the feed out and dump it on the floor, and it's too slippery to perch on. Stole that idea from a coop I saw in Indianapolis and elsewhere.
I've never used them, but I am thinking about getting some. I have turkeys in the brooder that will be coming outside soon, and have been told on another forum that they don't do well with the nipples. I'd hate to have to go back to those nasty waterers. I also would like to hear if someone on here has used the cups and how they work.
Sad to hear. hope you can thin the pack down. We have a large pack down here that swings through our property every couple of weeks. Whenever I hear the howls, I can't help but go check and make sure the coop is secured.Rest in Peace ----- Rooster Cogburn 2012 - 6/4/2013
Please remove your hats and bow your heads for a moment of silence in remembrance of Rooster Cogburn. He was a valiant and intrepid member of the neighborhood, loved and respected by (almost) all.
He met his demise by being viciously attacked and murdered by a pack of coyotes during the night while he slept on his usual roost in the barn. When his owner went out to the barn and found red feathers scattered around near Cogburn's roost he then took the ATV out into the field and found a bunch more feathers and one foot.
D*mn! He was an ornery old cuss, but I liked him. Shirley, 4 houses down will be heart-broken. She had adopted him, fed him so much that he never ate anything here.
I bought 2 more live traps and have set them up in the barn with a chunk of chicken meat under the trip pads. If I catch some, I'll let you know. They will be given a fair and impartial trial before being found guilty and sentenced to death. I intend to give them pistols with one bullet and let them do the honorable thing, the murdering b*stards.
