Life is easy for this cockerel taking an early morning sun bath. Sunshine and food, how could it get any better?

Not sure if I should say smart boy, or lazy boy. Love the bowl, don't know what I would do without those.

Is there something particularly special about those bowls?

They are relatively inexpensive, durable, easy to clean, and easy to rid of ice in the winter. Also available in multiple sizes.
I have at least a dozen.

they do not however appreciate getting run over by the lawnmower b/c you forgot to pick it up last fall and it got covered and hidden by the foot tall grass in the chicken tractor field.....

That one is still useable -- just looks like someone took a bite out of one side and left about a 1" lip. I usually set the baby chicks waterers in it to keep them a little cleaner.

I have a question... I hunt and can shoot an animal with a bow or gun and eat it but I can't bring myself to kill a chicken to eat. Any way to get over that? I know it sounds ridiculous lol

It doesn't sound ridiculous at all... in fact there is a thread on here which basically was started for this reason. Sally Sunshine started it over a year ago and it is still active with those of us who have processed still helping folks who are starting.... it is now a very long thread, but it is very informative and if you read the first 2 months or so of it you will probably get most questions answered, those you have and those you never thought to ask!

So far I have 3 little Golden Laced Wyandotte chicks with my broodie. She is still sitting on 6 more eggs, including 1 silkie egg. She is so happy.
