I remember this being discussed in the GB thread. I would imagine if the FF wasn't sitting in it for long periods. If they are cleaing it up in a reasonble amount of time, I wouldn't think so, but perhaps sitting around it may comprimise the metal. I imagine not as bad as it mixed with water, but still some chance. Anyone thoughts?
Wow, let us know Mumsy.. I would use that for sure!
I was thinking about when I was a kid and living next door to a commercial egg and replacement pullet barn and the things I saw. A lot of the equipment would not be of much use now because it's outdated, antiquated, or downright dangerous. All that and besides, most of us are not wanting to base our small operations like that of a big commercial operation. Twenty five years ago my mom and dad gave me two old glass waterers that were found on a shelf in that old barn. Covered in cobwebs and dust. I don't use them any longer because they are very old and I don't want to risk them breaking or chipping. The tops hold nearly a gallon and the bottoms are very thick and heavy. The bottom just rests on the top and you flip them. No screwing them together. Very nice heavy glass. I may use them again someday. Do any here use antiquated farm equipment to raise chickens naturally? Got pictures?
these
Yep. That's the one. Wow...Now I'm not sure I would risk putting it out where it could freeze. It would probably be safe in the chick house in the corner.
I love it!
Yes, $35 for a chicken waterer is not going along with "let's keep the costs down" agreement...Me too, just wish I could afford it
