The little ladies have taken nicely to their coop renovations. The clear winner is bucket #1.
It seems to be the favorite and is clearly the bucket of choice.
Got poultry?
Staying above the water line!

I took care of my mother-in-law's cats while she was in a nursing home. Every week I changed the litter, but kept the empty plastic containers to hang on trees for long range targets. But thanks to this blog, I am going to put many of them to a better use when I build my hen house. Thanks!
Buckets are a really useful item. There are so many products out there that use a bucket of some form that it shouldn't be too difficult to find some kind of bucket you could use.
The chickens have taken quickly to using the buckets which are more resistant to moisture and can be cleaned quite easily when required.
There are plenty of interesting things for me to write about...just don't have enough time to devote to it. Glad you enjoy visiting and have perhaps picked up a few useful tips or ideas.
Just wish I had a way with words like you do on your blog.
An expedient oxygen absorber for a 5 gallon storage container can be made by placing a golf ball size piece of steel wool and a tablespoon of salt inside a paper napkin and placing it in the container. The salt will absorb the residual moisture and the steel wool will naturally absorb the oxygen.
Preppin' Tips - Recipes
Make Your Own Electrolyte Beverage (Gatorade, Pedialyte, etc.)
To one quart of water add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 8 teaspoons of granulated sugar. Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
This will replace electrolytes lost by the body due to dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, etc. A package of Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, etc. may be added to enhance the flavor and color.

That's priceless.
Just a note to thank you for keeping this blog going without having to resort to playboy pinup type nudes or fowl language. :-)
It's always a treat to visit here and I've learned so very much.
