My review of this waterer is not good. I even called the company to ask them why water just pours out of this. I followed their instructions closely but it still leaks. I wanted it to work so much but its a fail for me.

Just put this egg stand out a few weeks ago-selling out daily (3 days per week), on a busy road. We have 19 layers currently. I label cartons with handling instructions, date fresh picked, name & address sticker inside carton. In the egg stand I have lockbox for cash, working on adding a Venmo...

I just put up a road side egg stand a few weeks ago-on a main Michigan state 2 lane highway, so lots of traffic. We have 29 hens and sell 7-8 doz mixed size eggs unwashed but clean per week-only open thur-sat. I have been wondering about claiming expenses and taxes and all that-i do keep track...

We just drove through Sherwood today & saw the damage-so sorry:(

Boosting this- I am curious what the answer is

I second this! I made a Mama Heat cave and have used it for three seasons of chicks, I have some under it now actually. I love this method, unless power goes out then I panic. That heat lamp in that small cage space makes me nervous for you, I've read abut so so many fires caused by lamps.

At about 3 weeks old my chicks have eaten and torn up puppy pads, I still use them for 2 weeks then switch to shavings with a box of sand grit.

I use two clear totes connected by a chunnel (chick tunnel), puppy pee pads for the first two weeks, changed 2x day, mama heating pad.

I've broken up plain popcorn into tiny pieces as a treat for my baby chicks-they love it! I wait a couple weeks before giving mealworms, then i break up a few every few days, not much. It's fun to throw half a meal worn in and watch them all run around and chase the chick who picks it up lol

I put Chickenstock on my calendar!! :celebrate Will we have a swap like in years past, each bring something? I can bring plates and napkins, gluten free pasta salad, and a fruit dessert of some sort, and I'll check back before the day to see if anything else is needed. Looking forward to it!

I am going to do this tomorrow! thanks for the tip-i love reusing things when possible, and my hens kick out the premade nest box pads so this will at least not cost me anything if it does not work :)

This is a tough question for me, sad day, but I'd say seeing my husband carry our hen Dolly inside to say hello made me happy for a moment :)

Mary, you mentioned you dont use an open water dish, do you use the nipple waterers then?

Prices up everywhere :( I hope Chickenstock still happens, missed last year/2023, looking fw to this year! If there's a way I can help let me know!
