New to it all

[OSDad]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this whole world and am very exited about it.

We recently moved back to the area I grew up and built a house on a 6 acre property my folks gave us.

I made the decision we were getting into rising some chickens

I started researching and built a coop and run and now have a flock started with 4 Easter Egger Chicks.

Any tips would be great

Below is my watering system, A garden hose feeds into a toilet float valve in the bucket rising the water level and shutting it off at 8 liters. it is then gravity fed to the outdoor and indoor piping with poultry water nipples.

This is my bird dog Skye. She is a sweetie but instinct drives her. I'm going to have to keep an eye on her!

This is where my winter water system will go. I have power for a agitating pump and heater when it gets cold. It also powers the timer light in the coop to extend light hours.





2 Large cleanout and access doors. The coop is a perfect height for my garden tractor trailer to haul away the manure


I have since added another roost, you can also see my nesting boxes on the opposite side.
