I just bought four of these waterers through Amazon.ca for $6.99. I was really pleasantly surprised that I could buy them with free shipping and for such a great price. They are sturdy, attractive and work well.

Highly recommend any Canadians try them out!

Well I like it. Just wish it weren't so darn expensive.

Only feeder I have that helps reduce waste. Really love it. Wish it came in mega size!

Purchased 12 ducklings for my muscovy who was sitting on infertile eggs. She decided she didn't want to parent after that, and I was stuck raising these 12 little ones.

They are adorable, but they require a ton of work as all ducks do. Once they are outside, I love them a whole lot more!

They are 4 weeks old now, and I put them with the flock. They are doing wonderful. They sleep in a pile, so they keep one-another warm, and are the easiest to herd. I love watching them play in the water outdoors. In the barn (in the brooder) I was getting sick of all the wet shavings. They also seem less afraid of me now that they are outside. I plan to keep a trio.

I've had one RSL for a year now, and she is EVERYONE'S favourite. We just purchased 19 more to help meet our demands for eggs. Our older hen free ranges with everyone else, and is the smartest chicken I have. She is friendly, lays an egg a day in the hot weather, AND the cold. She laid right through her molt. She lays a really big egg too. Hope some of the new chicks are as good as her! They already love to roost on my boots, and run when I call "chick chick chick" - they are being raised by two broodies and did seem kind of broody stupid. Took them a while to realize it was warm under mom.

I've named them all Penny, because I won't be able to tell them apart. We often yell "Penny, leave penny alone!" hehehe...

I bought two exhibition buff toulouse from winning lines. I am in love. They are beautiful and follow me around when outside. Just love them!

It does heat the water well, but the bottom is very frustrating to attach, and if not perfectly level, it will slowly empty all over the place. The top is awkward to carry when full, so we have to use a bucket to bring the water to the water dispenser. This was the only water heater my store had. I had no choice. Water freezes very quickly.

How can you find faults with two day old chicks? Lol. Mine are so adorable. Everything they do is cute.






One of them sunbathing - looks dead, but I assure you, she/he is not

Wish I could agree with the friendliness aspect that everyone is raving about. My girl is not as easy to catch and didn't eat out of my hand until a week ago when she started laying. I suggest getting these as chicks if breeder quality, or from someone that has kids who handle them. I got them from someone who never handled them, and my girl was quite apprehensive regarding humans.

I had a d'uccle that passed away from unknown causes. He/she was so friendly and cute. Great bird for kids!

My girl is very friendly. She loves people. She is laying right now through a horrible molt! They really have their reasons when naming them 'Production' Reds.

My second favourite breed only next to the barred rock

I have a buff laced polish (beardless largefowl) and a self black (bearded large fowl). My black one is super friendly, loves to be handled and talked to. She is not afraid of anything. She lets strangers pick her up without a fuss. My BL is a little more skittish, but she is still very young.

Neither of mine have begun to lay yet, even though one is 10 months old

My girl is crazy bossy. She was so shy in the beginning, and is quickly making it up to the top of the pecking order. I would say she is pretty darn feisty, but never to humans.

I only have one SLW - bought from a breeder. She is stunning to look at, slow to mature, but she sure is breath-taking! I wanted a wyandotte because of their beautiful lacing, but they are extremely hard to find. We do not have hatcheries that ship them, so they must be imported stock and bred here.

I haven't had any eggs from my girl yet, so that's why I am saying she is slow to mature.

I have two hens and a roo. Really, this is my favourite breed hands down! They are so easy to love. They are wonderful layers and my rooster is very good with his girls. He is not aggressive, but he sure is loud!

I can't think of a single negative thing to say about the silkie, except maybe their amount of eggs laid.. They are not a breed you get for eating eggs. I have three hens and a rooster. My rooster is very human friendly, takes wonderful care of his girls and usually only crows in the morning.

I have a lilac pied muscovy hen. She is shy, as she was never handled before we brought her home. I find her very quiet and gets along wonderfully with my chickens. She does not go in water like my mallad x runner. I would have liked a friendlier girl, but she is very cute
