avianaquamiser show some ways to use nipples but they cost way to much from them.

Have you looked at Farmtek ?

Yes. The best price I found was at QC Supplies

I am so sick of weird weather!!! I have a woman to meet to sell a rabbit to, sometime today.
I have a major pip of eggs today also, and not one pip so far...I am kinda getting worried

And it is hurricane winds here, blowing chickens all over their pens, so far most are running right back in.
It is doing the rip tear and slap flapping to anything with a tarp on it...hide !!
Will this odd ball winter ever end ???

So far we have not lost power.
Not a good day to have a skirt on.........

Tree branches & applesauce is blowing all over the property~~~~
I guess I will go sit & stare at my hatching incubator & worry....

Thanks for your concern! I always make the kids take our two big dogs out with them. Hopefully the dogs would discourage a big cat! The neighbor is a big time hunter and gun guy so he said if he gets the chance, the "situation" will be delt with. Couple years ago the cougar ate the neighbors cat and came back for his dog the next day. Thankfully he was there and had his gun close. He shot in the air, made the cougar drop the dog which survived. He's not gonna shot in the air this time.

That's smart, the dogs are good protection

Hopefully your neighbor gets him

We keep a BB gun by the back door to scare off raccoons and crows that come in our yard and bother our chickens, never had a problem with cougars though in shoreline

Your not crazy.

I watched a show last night and this guy have 158 chickens living in his house. At the end of the show a guy from BYC was helping find homes for all but 20 which will be outside in a coop.

Yes it is hard to keep up... I sometimes miss things trying to scan and catch up...
I'm glad you found us! and we will have your little one a buddy soon! I normally get a few early hatchers.

Can't wait! Especially can't wait to have 30 little buggers running around

I think this hatch is going to be a lot better
