I will need a new one next spring, when we raise feeder pigs again. I just won't try to raise eleven of them at once! (Long story.) This would be perfect for 2-4 pigs...
These have been very helpful for me. I can quickly remove my short watering hose to drain water out, and hang it on the fence - so that it won't freeze. I have them on all of our hydrants and water hoses...
Oh Santa, please! I really want one of these carts to use in the garden:

I need these cut-resistant gloves for processing chickens! Pricey for 1 pair, but they are the highest grade of cut resistance available, and appear to be very flexible and snug fitting. They can withstand up to 11 pounds of force. It seems every single time we process, someone gets a small cut...
That's what I did, but I was generous with it. I don't recall the recommended application. I used 4 half-gallon scoops over an 80 sq ft area, in soiled chips that were maybe 3-4 inches deep - then added 2-3 inches of fresh chips on top of it.
Not an entry, I've already posted mine for the day.... but I HAD to share this one:

This stuff WORKS!!! And it's cheap!
I have a large coop with currently 46 birds, and I use the deep litter method with wood...
I'd really love to have one of these weather stations, to plan activities for my chickens, cattle, and gardening.

I'd like to have a better nursing bottle for my calves. This one has a more realistic nipple, a valve that reduces head butting and aspiration, and I love the handle.

Seriously, this squeeze chute is on my Christmas list this year - we so badly need one. Santa, please?

Currently, we handle the cattle in a sorting chute made of cattle panels...
I ordered one of these for my bottle calf, Missy, who I plan to keep as a milk cow. I started training her to harness and lead rope right away - and I LOVE how this harness fits! It's comfortable, no rubbing spots, and with the figure-8 design doesn't restrain her jaw. She quickly outgrew it, so...
Just an observation...... I know everyone is posting things for poultry or about poultry, and most of the contest rules talk about "chickens", but..... in the first paragraph (above) it mentions LIVESTOCK as well. So does that mean we can all post stuff for our goats, bunnies, sheep, horses...
I need a bigger toolbox for my Chicken First-Aid Kit. This one comes in a few different NFL team logos. My favorite, of course, KC Chiefs!
I store meds, vitamins, vet wrap, first aid spray, blu-kote, electrolytes, and so on. Lift-out tray is great for smaller items, med doser, syringes, q-tips...
I have one of those, used for exactly the purpose of herding my chickens, too! It's made of fiberglass or something, and the end has split apart into 4-5 sections. When I shake the stick, it rattles and BOY does it get their attention! I call it my "rattly stick". Indispensable.
Could you maybe put a dish of feed out for them each morning? Just an old aluminum pie pan or something, with a few small holes in the bottom for drainage? The feed will get wet and mushy, but they'd likely eat it anyway.
I have a couple of these (similar) folding sawhorse/worktables - and they are indispensable for processing chickens outdoors, or for construction projects, or anything where I need a portable workstation. They fold up to take up little storage space, easy to transport and set up, and clean up...
Restraining cones, or killing cones, for processing time. Makes the job easier and less damage to the bird:

I use something like these tubing cutters for processing chickens. To me, it's important to have one-handed spring-action so I can decapitate in a single stroke and keep full control of the bird. However, that takes some hand strength and the maximum diameter is about 1-5/8". It's perfect for my...
I'm always going through bungee cords; never have enough:
