The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[Miami Leghorn]

Ya mine never learn to perch very early on.
Well in the pens anyways. Funny any escapees seem to immediately learn to fly to the rafters of the barn and roost though.

Yeah mine love the mango trees.

Anyone seen any threads about anyone making mini versions of the no waste bucket feeders with the PVC elbows for chicks?

You could make the mini for chicks using a Tupperware CD storage box.

Our Silkies ,unfortunately and please don't get mad at me but I keep saying they are as dumb as rocks... we try to introduce them even to low perchs they just can't seem to get it only one has learn to perch on her own.

Oh no. They are dumb. lol My one Silkie rooster learned to roost, but he needed a nice ladder to get up there. He was in with some other birds, so he learned pretty quickly how to do it once he figured out he got crapped on if he slept on the floor.

My silkies are about average compared to the growing group they're in. Smarter than the polish but dumber than Big Bird and the leghorns

I've collected a few small buckets from work and was just brainstorming a use for them.
IDK they're like 2 gallon size maybe. Just don't know what size pvc to use and if they would even work as well as the large ones.
Having chicks and juveniles waste less food sounds great though.

Had 10 more hatch from that last batch.
Next batch going into lockdown first thing in the morning.
462.

My last two batches of RIR are about two weeks old now and doing well, my nephew gave me two Ayam Cemani eggs and they are about a week into incubation. Hopefully they turn out well...

I have to help my silkies find the door to the run. They try running through the chicken wire and get smooshed against it
They also squish themselves through the fence to the pther section of the garden and can't get back out again...
But sometimes they are really smart... When it comes to treats- I clicker trained a 7wk old silkie in an hour.

That’s mini!? looks ginormous! I also didn’t realize it was possible to make them as big as the regular hahah I usually see them with 5 gallon buckets and then the tote shown as mini is usually the bigger size but that’s neat seeing an even bigger one!
