Chicken photo contest reminder

Silver Grey DorkingsWhen I sent out an email reminding our past chicken waterer customers that our 2010 photo contest deadline is coming up on September 21, the entries came pouring in.  The photos were wonderful, but many of them also came with stories that I can't help sharing with you.  I'll be regaling you with customer images and tales over the next few weeks --- enjoy!

To get you started, here are a couple of the most beautiful photos we've received so far.  The top one is from Stuart Liptay, who wrote:

We have been using the waterers for about a month now and the Dorks have taken to them nicely.  As you can see from the photos, I've attached the devices to pop bottle caps, so when a bottle becomes dirty, into the recycling it goes and a fresh one is put up, and the cap is reused.  Our chickens are Silver Grey Dorkings (an English heritage breed), and in the photos are Sir Henry Dorking and Miss Henrietta Dorking.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Wallace sent me several beautiful photos of her son's flock --- polish/americana, barred rock, buff orphingtons and banties.  I believe that both of the photos I loved so much are of the banties, although I'm not positive.

Keep those images rolling in!

The easiest way to make your own chicken waterer is to start with one of our homemade chicken waterer kits.

How do people manage to get such great photos of their chickadoos???? Mine are in near-constant motion. Los Birdos enjoy their nipple waterer in the coop but lately they've become fascinated by the water bowls for the mammals. (Thankfully, they don't mess those up.) My hopes of getting a picture of the chickens with their flock cat at the waterer are dashed.... for now.

Lots of patience

(And quality cameras.) I suspect they sit there and snap photos for about fifteen minutes --- that's what it usually takes me to get at least one passable shot of a bird in action.

That said, I'm not dying to see your chickens with their flock cat!!
