    I hate my new waterer

    As long as it works for you that's all that matters , my set up works perfectly and I just leave the base there year round. I just unplug it during spring - fall....

    I hate my new waterer

    PS the cap just screws on a false threaded nub at the top which basically just keeps it from getting lost when you're not filling it , sorry I couldn't show you the other side. If you have a tractor supply near you check it out....

    I hate my new waterer

    No it actually has a cap that's threaded towards the top of the waterer and you just unscrew it and screw it to the spout at the bottom where the water comes out. Once you do that just unscrew the lid and fill it up , it's also convenient with the built-in handle to carry it. I have a hose...

    I hate my new waterer

    These used to be under $30 when I got mine almost 10 years ago , I think they were around $25 , I bought a couple and they work excellent. There's an O ring under the lid and it keeps it sealed tight. Plus you can find the rings at Lowe's or Depot if it gets worn out. But I had mine for years...

    I hate my new waterer

    I bought one of those metal heater bases they sell on Amazon , it works great and I've had it for years. It turns on automatically when the temp goes below 32°. I bought a plastic 5 gallon waterer from tractor supply and it fits perfectly on the base , you don't have to turn it over. You just...

    Lessons learned in my battle with mites

    I use several scoops because I mix large quantity's of bird seed,unsalted peanuts,raisins and rolled oats in 5 gallon buckets so I like to put about 2-3 cups at least so everything gets coated with the powered pepper,but I've also given them fresh hot peppers chopped up from my garden in summer.

But too be honest only did...

    Lessons learned in my battle with mites

    I can only speak from my experience and it worked for me,like I said I have a lot of chickens and sell eggs so I will not take a chance on putting anything toxic in them or have too throw out 5dzn eggs to wait for a withdrawl period unfortunately, the majority of people on here probably have an...

    Me neither "knock on wood" and I agree they are not dumb but are a very routine oriented animal.

    Freezing temps - should I keep chickens in coop?

    After reading through these posts I have to agree with the majority,I feel the more you cottle your chickens the lower there resistance will be too everyday weather conditions.I know people get nervous especially the newer chicken keepers on here,but chickens are very hardy despite what some...
