Ta da. I do, the video is called “Closer look at my Chicken Watering system
using Nipples” /watch?v=SQdiUiDU2Yk Thank you for watching. I have had
turkey and geese drink form nipples, I would think duck should have no
problem.
Thank You
How many chickens can your tractor hold? or keep?
Great video, but the background noise is … What! Tough to sit through.
Love your roomy coop.
Thanks for watching. Out of the 4 one lays a very nicely colored large blue
egg, 2 are an average sized egg (one is green other is brown) the last one
lays a small brown egg. I like how friendly they are and how they are not
flighty. I have one that is thinking about going broody.
@jodiwilliams70 Thank You
Tis the season. LOL I would rather people ask the same question 3 times
then nobody ask anything.
I had up to 9 but depending on the size of the bird it could hold more.
That’s what I felt comfortable with. Thanks for watching.
Where did you get your nipples for the 5 gallon watering system. You should
make a video of how you made it. Im a newbie i have 4 hens and 1 rooster
but, last week i was given 6 mascovy duck chicks and a momma and ive never
been happier.
Thank you
I cut down 2x4s to make the frame. I did think about rot and sealing and/or
pressure treated wood. The pressure treated wood is to heavy. I guess I
could put a sealer on them but I am not sure how safe it would be for the
chickens. The panels are so easy to build and I used screws so if I need to
I can replace any parts that are rotting. Thanks you for viewing and
commenting.
good looking design. a lot of labor. but…wood appears to be fir, or some
kind of soft wood. if so, i fear it will rot quickly if you dont seal it.
When the rain collected over the roost I would just lift the lid and move
the water to the run area, I did poke holes in the tarp in the run area to
drain.
Thanks for watching.
I agree about the trailer parkish but it was light and cheap plus it
worked. I did poke holes in the trap over the run so it could drain. For
the part over the roost I would lift the lid and the water ran into the
run. Thanks for watching.
As much as they want to eat.
At 5:10 you mentioned that your hens were a cross between a blue Americana
and a black orpington and that you were hoping they’d lay a larger blue
egg. Did it work out? What color eggs did they end up laying? Very nice
build, btw. I’m going to use the nipple waters as well because I want to
conserve floor space and not give them a way to make a huge mess with the
water inside their winter coop.
“Free Roaming Happy Chickens Eat Udon Noodles” This is an enjoyable video.
Let the chickens out of that confinement, for god sake! Would you be happy
to “live” in a square of flat grass behind a net? Same for them…..
Looks like its working pretty well. Good idea with the frozen water bottles.
Hey! Please check out my channel. I got videos of many cute animals we have
