I don't think I've ever heard of water belly. What causes it?

Thanks for sharing what works for you. Home remedies are great for those of us that can't justify vet visits.

(p.s. the link for kicken chicken doesn't work... maybe its just me, but you might want to check it)

Nice article. Explanatory pictures, and good information!
Love the modification of the tote with the locking door. I hope you've done an article specifically about it.

Nice pictures, looks very secure. The concrete must have been a real pain! lol
Thanks for sharing!

Nice! I did not know about myoglobin, nor about the fast-twitch fibers. Interesting stuff!

Excellent information! Thanks.

My chickens do enjoy a shallow pan (less than an inch deep) of water on the hottest days.

Very nice!

Very comprehensive!

How creative! I love this! Truly limitless possibilities. Great job with the pics also.

Precise and understandable! Thanks!

Great idea!
I wonder if you could attach the heat cable up each side of the pipe, just below the water level, but leaving a clear path down the bottom of the tube?
Or get a larger size of pipe, cut so that the current setup would fit down inside it, lay the heat cable inside the larger tube, then lay the current tube on top of that?

Wish I could bookmark this!

Yours was the first case I ever read about these beasts killing birds. I’m so sorry for your loss, but thank you for sharing your experience and all your research!

I’ve seen shows in person, but never shown a bird. Very nice illustration drawings. Great job.

Article very well done, I especially love seeing updates after practical use! Your pics and drawings will be very useful for others.
Chicks are beautiful and look happy, so great job!

Well written, humorous too!
Great job!

Beautiful pics and tons of great info!! I'm just glad we don't get quite as cold, nor as much snow as you do. Looks like you have made the most of the challenge!

Makes me want some pigeons!

Beautiful, love the bottles for light especially. Lovely pictures and glad you included the recipes for the mixed stuff.
An update on how it’s all holding up would be great, especially the parts that you were concerned about while building.

I believe I learn something new about poultry every day, And this is a great example of something sad, but definitely good to know about. Very well written and informative article.
(Now I have to do more research on this and the other dwarfisms)
