When I first decided to get chickens I had no idea where to start so I ordered this book. It was Wonderful!!. I highly recommend it. It covered different sickness and breeds. Everything you need to know. if your thinking you are wanting to start getting chickens

This is one of the main feeders that I use. I like it because it allows several chickens to eat at once and I can hang it up so they are not pooping in their food, and roosting on it and turning it over. I am able to hang this under the coop so it does not get water in the top of it and turn their feed into a brick.
This is one of my favorite waters. it holds 4 gallons of water, you can hang it up and it has a slow water system so they are pooping in it and stepping in it and wasting it, when they peck at it the water comes out in the little bowls.
These little feeders and waters work great for when you have small birds. I also use them if I need to separate a bird out and move it to the smaller coop.
This is one of my favorite small incubators it does a great job keeping the eggs turned without you having to turn them each time and you can just stop the turn once the eggs reach 18 days. I mainly use it now just as an incubator for day 18 until they hatch. It holds temperature great.
This Incubator was a game changer for me I was able to get close to a 95% hatch rate. It automatically turns the eggs for you and has a way to add the water on the side for the humidity so you don't have a temp drop taking the lid off. It holds temperature very well and has a good humidity and temp read out. I also use two hydrometer
Hydrometer
These work great for keeping the temperature measured and the humidity. I also use them when I am regulating the brooder box for my new baby chicks !!
Heat Lamp
I use this heat lamp to keep my new chickies warm. It easily clips onto a chain a box anything and you can adjust it to however you need to.
