Down at the Stockyard, our local feedstore, automatic feeders and waterers for poultry run about 50 bucks a piece. We haven't really been able to stomach that cost. While we were on vacation, Mr. Dennis and Mr. Phils went out to the local big-box store and purchased a set of automatic food and water dispensers for pets. The chickens love the waterer, but they kept scratching all of the food out of the food bowl, which we've since given to the rabbits.
The chickens kick all kinds of things into their water, but it serves its purpose.
Our little fatty rabbits love the never-ending supply of food too.
What's happening now?
--- Finally settled in to our new house (mostly)
--- Taking care of all our animals! Three chickens, a rabbit, a dozen finches, and two Alaskan huskies.
--- Working on turning our dirt-yard into something respectable
Who are we?
This blog follows the adventures of Taylor and Tine as they craft, cook, and turn their house into a home.
