It was not that much feed, just a quart jar full. They should have it cleaned up by tomorrow, and the ants carry the rest off (black ants, they are everywhere here)Looking good!
I could have used some of that rain. Send it up here, please.
Been there and done that. I made a temporary feeder shelter during an integration and misjudged the slope so I overlapped two pieces of metal roof scrap the wrong way so that water poured into the feeder.
I dumped it out and the flock had it cleaned up in a couple days -- just watch to make sure it doesn't mold and shovel it out if it does.
Look like girls to me.

I was a little worried about my RIR and my bigger Barred Rock but they seem to be girls to my untrained eye.
So far so good.
Now I want some white chicks.
(not just yet though. maybe next year)
well, I am sure mine will live a happy retirement, and live to poop.I love my California White. She's the only chicken I have who is smart enough to fly back into an enclosure she flew out of.
And she is a MACHINE for the production of 65g white eggs.
I'm keeping one of her daughters and bought another California White this year. I might even give her a third year after she molts because her production fall-off has been to go down to 5+ eggs per week rather than 28 days out of 30 like last year.
you know, if you'd lived closer I would consider putting in an offer for the gal. 5+ eggs is still great to my lay (lol) eyes. I am however not seeking to sell eggs.I love my California White. She's the only chicken I have who is smart enough to fly back into an enclosure she flew out of.

might not have to leave it plugged in all the time
I will eventually have to modify everything a little more. By the time I am done with that thing (and probably buy extension panels) one won't recognize the run from the bare bones model out of the box!Better to always leave your electric on.
If for no other reason than that you don't risk forgetting to turn it back on after it's been off.
