I have quite a few very nice water nipples that are meant to be mounted horizontal. They have a little "protrusion" for the bottom of the beak. Anyone think of any reason I can't put them on the side of a water bucket near the bottom ? Thanks !
I am soooo glad to hear the latest good news of Fuzzy Bum and her handome gentleman friend Bowzer ! Like the other person said, hope there is a happy family of baby chicks soon. Keep us up dated. Always good to hear about Fuzzy Bum .
Sorry to hear about the attack on your chicken. Okay, This may sound TOTALLY crazy but believe me IT WORKS ! Been there done that have the T-shirt AND the cap. Spray LIGHTLY the bare places where the feathers are missing with PRUNING SPRAY. Yep, the same icky black tar like gunk people...
I have heard there is a breed of goat, commonly found in west Tx. & N.M. area that will eat Iron Weed. I think the name starts with a 'N'. (Not Nubian s.p.?). Does anyone know what the breed is. ? I also have 5 strands of electric rope around my pasture. Will that keep goats in ? I am over...

I will not get into T.S .and the care of (or lack of) baby chicks. I would like to address the nice lady that wants to take sick chickens and try to nurse them back to health. That is a very kind and noble think you are wanting to do. HOWEVER ~ As difficult as it may be for us marshmallow...
Lobo may have tangled with a weezle or even a mink. If it is a weezle they can wipe out a flock in one night and get throught the smallest of holes. They also kill "for fun". Reach thru, grab a bird and chew its head off. Nasty little verman. But, who knows. I'm from Mo. and I know there...
I need advise please. I want to get some baby chicks next week. I need to be away for two weeks, first part of May. The babies would be about 9 weeks old when I leave. I have the pet sitter only let the chickens out into the fenced (elec.) chicken yard when I am away and give them 'treat'...
