    Wry neck and risk for drowning

    My 2 week old Silkie chick has wry neck and I’ve separated her from the main brooder. I put in a water feeder along with her food, but her lack of balance due to wry neck has led her to fall into the water tray. She cant always get herself out so I decided the risk for drowning was too high...

    Feed and water and hanging.

    Just curious. How do you hang the feeder/water in the run? What should I use? I have a large dog kennel around the coop so i want to know what will work safely? In a way that it's easy to get at night when they're done eating. Also any toy recommendations that chickens love. I've tried the...

    Perkolator's Chicken Waterer

    I built this super-simple, auto-fill, gravity-feed, chicken waterer for my new chicken coop. My waterer required a reservoir due to using untreated irrigation water, which sometimes will get turned off daily during maintenance periods. Luckily I don't have to deal with freezing in my region...

    Ducklings can't figure out drinker

    Hi there, I made a waterer for my ducklings out of a gallon hawaiian punch jug. I cut a rectangle into it height ways and then turned it sideways and filled it halfway. The ducklings know there's water in there, and peck around it, but can't seem to quite figure it out. They have a pan for...

    Waterer Ideas Please for My First Winter with Chickens in Idaho

    Okay, actually this is my first winter ever with chickens anywhere. As a retirement gift, I was given a double walled fount type waterer, and it has worked well throughout the summer. Someone else gave me a base water heater for it. The price has sure been right so far! I'll use it for awhile...

    Automatic water bowl

    I picked one of these up at a yard sale over the weekend for 0.25!! On paper and in theory, it seems like a wonderful idea! However, common sense and experience is telling me this has potential for disaster with geese and ducks. Sooo....have any of you tried one? Any tips?

    Waterer question. Are chicks just messy?

    I have this cup/nipple drinker in with my 4 week old chicks. There is a clearly wetness in the bedding in front of it. I have brought it into the house twice, put it on a dry rag and watched at least an hour with no drips. But then again this happens again. Thoughts?

    My smart chicks - horizontal nipple masters!

    My little flock is 4.5 weeks old. I put a waterer with horizontal nipples in at around 2 weeks and wondered how they’d do with it. I knew they were getting water but had no idea how they’d *mastered* this thing...until a few days ago. My smarty smart smart ladies (hopefully ladies haha) have...

    Rain Barrel waterer

    Would it be necessary to have the rain barrel water filtering or constantly moving to avoid being stagnant and algae growth??

    3 Gallon Heated Waterer

    This heated waterer holds three gallons of water, which lasts my 35 chickens almost exactly one day. It's hard to fill from the bottom, even though they claim that it has an easy fill funnel. Whenever I use it, water spills over the funnel, somehow gets past the waterproof seal where the cord...

    Has anyone done a rain barrel system for their coop/run? Did you then filter it somehow or oxygenate it?? I am in the design phase of our future coop and considering collecting rain runoff from the run area, but unsettled of having the water sit in a rain barrel... It would then...

    How To Keep Poultry Cup Drinker From Freezing?

    Howdy everyone, these past few weeks have been pretty cold and at the time being there's no end in sight. Last year, mid summer, we switched from tray waterers to a cup system. Now it's late January and we use a water heater base to set it on, which keeps the bucket part ice free... But the cups...
