Just a thought you can run a small recirculating pump from bucket back down to main water line below frost line if water moves it wont freeze. I would stay away from outside walls unless foam insulated.Anyone want to contribute how we should water our future birds?
I'm not sure how well you guys can see this floor plan I made of just the chicken part of the barn. The troughs will be free standing. I can move them in and out as needed (ie probably only in there in the winter)
We aren't going to heat this part of the barn at all, but it will be insulated. I'm trying to figure out how to water year round.. I was hoping to do some type of nipple waterer.. but I think that will freeze, and I'm not sure where to put it against a wall.. windows all along one wall, so not much space... plus I will have waterfowl, so I don't think it will work as well as I originally hoped.. unless of course they go outside to get their water..
Thoughts?
beautiful! great idea, thanks!Hi all,,, for all of you with a dead log you can't move on the property,, here is a nice option.... neighbor has these leading all up her driveway...
ramps, I believe, are rarer things than the little onions most of us have in our yards. I've always been told ramps are quite the treat, but, not being an onion fan, I've not tried them.Wild onion?
mountain ramps, wild leeks.
Quote: do you have a photo of burdock to share? thanks
Stony - do you dry the leaves to make the tea or just use them fresh?they are best right now. They get bitter as the year progresses.
dandelion, violet leaves and flowers, red clover blossoms,mustard grass leaves, fresh scrambled eggs, a little wild onion grass and a dash of dressing. Good spring breakfast.
Boiled up 1st year burdock stalk with a little butter and garlic...mmmmmmmm, a tasty part of lunch.
dandelion leaf and violet leaf sun tea. Gives me lots of energy and tastes great.
That idea is quite intriguing! Now you've got me pondering again hmmmmJust a thought you can run a small recirculating pump from bucket back down to main water line below frost line if water moves it wont freeze. I would stay away from outside walls unless foam insulated.
Mine do that from time to time too. Eat them, then won't touch them.I have a question, not sure if anyone has experienced this before: Our chicks that are 12 weeks old now will not eat earthworms or pill bugs (rolly pollies) anymore. They used to fight over the worms when they were little, now they just walk away like they are nothing special. They are enjoying inch worms and smaller bugs though. What's up with that? Any ideas? They were slurping them right down when they were just 4-8 weeks old, now they're just not interested.
