    Help me decide- Grandpa’s Feeder or other brand?

    I am planning the chicks transition out into their permanent coop and run and trying to not learn lessons the hard way by researching my options now. They will have a full predator and hopefully pest proof covered run where the food and water will remain outside the coop. Feeder options have...

    Best feeder(s) for Cornish Cross?

    I'm raising my first batch of 24 Cornish Cross and even though I did the research I was surprised by how food aggressive they are. Mine are coming up on 2 weeks old, so have one more week at least of garage raising then out to the open air covered run (10'x30'). I've been using a chick feeder...

    Cleaning feeders and drinkers

    So possibly a dumb question but I was wondering if anyone has ever washed their plastic feeders and drinkers in their dishwashers? I'd like to give them a good deep cleaning. Normally I soak them in vinegar and some dawn and scrub them well. But I'd like to give them a good sanitizing. Just a...

    Long-time lurker; suddenly incubating a single quail!

    Hey friends! I'm new to posting here, but not new to browsing around on occasion as farming/permaculture and rearing animals has been my long-time passion. We have a tiny farm-yard currently, and are just saving up to build our actual farm on land we bought a while ago in Nova Scotia, Canada...

    Feeder Dilemma

    I’m having the hardest time figuring out what kind of feeder to use, and was hoping someone with the same issues could help me narrow it down (or maybe I just want to whine, who’s to say?). After spending 6 hours yesterday scrubbing and sanitizing my coop and equipment in a spring cleaning...

    Difference in feeders...

    New keeper here. Won't have birds until the spring. Can anybody tell me what the difference (ie--benefits) are between a treadle feeder vs no-spill feeder (bin w/ PVC elbows)? Specifically when it comes to attracting rodents? Anyone with experience w/ both types of feeders?? Thanks!

    THE RATS ARE EATING MY CHICKEN FOOD!

    Hi. About half a year ago, I purchased a "rat-proof" treadle chicken feeder. unfortunately, the rats have learnt to open the feeder by just pushing the lid up with their noses. Because of this convenient source of food, the rats are constantly raiding our coop. I have been researching pest-proof...

    First chicks, questions already!

    So our local farm and feed store told me my chicks are a week old, at most. I have 2 Buff Orps, a Gold-laced Wyandotte, and a Black Australian. First question. They don’t seem to want 95 degrees. But really, I don’t know. I brought them home after five, got them settled, then was busy making...

    Where to place the feeders

    Our new coop is built but we are still working on the finishing touches. I’m sure I will have future questions but the pressing one right now is where to place the feeders. Do they go outside the coop or inside? I was under the impression that our 8 hens will not eat or drink inside the coop...

    is it really worth buying? or not?

    i only own a handful of hens atm (with high hopes of getting some more in the future) and i seem to be going through a lot of feed. one of my church friends said that getting a treadle feeder actually quartered their feed bill? is it worth buying or does it just waste time and effort?
