    SOS Hens not drinking water

    We have 70 birds on our farm and recently relocated them to the barn for the winter. We also switched up their waterers to a heated waterer. The waterers they had all summer had a green base and were gravity fed. The new ones had a red base and are also gravity fed. We realized the hens weren't...

    The Power of Observation Saved Their Lives

    I have 15 eight month old pullets. Great egg layers, all healthy etc. Cold weather is here where I live so during our winter preps we purchased a metal double wall waterer and the warmer to go underneath it. We were using the red bottom plastic 3 gallon waterer before that. I put the metal...

    Waterer and feeder keep falling

    Hi all, My waterer and feeder keep falling over because the chickens knock them over. I can't put it in the corner because in the middle of the run, so much poop has accumulated that it's like a mini hill ("hill" is quite an exaggeration, best word I can think of) and the corners are dunes...

    Can someone help me find this duckie waterer mug?

    Hi there! I recently found this waterer mug and food set. They don't ship to Canada. ☹ Does anyone know where I could find this waterer mug?? It is spill proof and big enough for the duck to submerge its head. Thank you!!! Liv.

    Water system I'm contemplating

    I'm think about buying this water troth with a float valve in it for my ducks run. It has a drain in the bottom. I'd plumb the drain to a PVC pipe with a valve on it so I could just open it and run water through to clean it. Maybe have a toilet brush and some vinegar in a spray bottle near by...

    DIY automatic watering?

    I know there's another thread here with this topic, but now that I joined, I can't find it. I would like to make an automatic waterer from a 55 gallon drum. My rain barrel is about 30 feet from the henhouse. Although I am in the process of building a bigger henhouse closer. I was in the...

    Anyone tried screwing waterer nipples directly to garden hose?

    Hi all. First post here :) I'm thinking of buying waterer nipples and screwing them directly into pre-drilled holes in a standard garden hose. The hose will be connected to a water barrel slightly higher than the hose, not connected to the mains water. My question is if anyone has tried or if...

    Hellooo! Hope you are all having a wonderful day! I have some nipple waterer questions concerning my little chicks! So first of all, is anybody else COMPLETELY ANNOYED with the mess the chicks make not only around the fount, but also IN it? I sure am! Twice a day cleaning of the waterer doesn’t...

    Sun shade for chickens?

    Hello all: Since the temps are starting to warm up, I'll need to move the chicken waterer to some shade. I saw this cool sun shade online; it pops up. You actually use it at the beach, but I may buy it and try it as a shade for the waterer, for my sweet chickens. Thoughts? Maybe I'm just...

    Eglu Cube Feeder/Drinker

    These feeders and waterers work pretty well. It keeps feed dry from weather. It’s easy to fill and doesn’t take up any room in your coop. It hangs on easily to the side of your coop. The only con I can think of is that you need to refill pretty often. I have to refill the feeder every other day...

    Feeder/waterer set ups?

    I’m building out my coop for my poults now. Do the pvc gravity-fill feeders work well for midget white turkeys (I’ll adjust height for growth)? What about cup-style waterer attachments? I’d love to hear/see everyone’s solutions to feeding and watering efficiently. Thanks!

    Waterer for Toulouse geese

    new to geese. My 4 will have access to kiddie pool during day, but what kind of “waterer” do you experienced people use? I’m assuming the “cup” type chicken dispensers are too small... Thanks!

    A way to get your money's worth from galvanized waterers... maybe?

    So I've read a lot about trouble with the galvanized waterers. Not that they dont start out working great (though sometimes they are sold with seam issues where the vacuum doesn't work) but mostly issues with future rust and corrosion. I had one that made it a couple years pretty good, but...

    Winter water

    I've been looking at the 101 ways to keep water from icing over in cold weather (we will drop to -20 degrees in any given year). I was wondering if anyone has tried a reptile heating pad under their metal chicken waterer? They are designed for damp environments so the thought crossed my mind.

    Chicken Waterer design

    Hey guys, I'm a product designer by profession and a backyard chicken rancher on the side. And as someone who makes products for a living I can't tell you how much it pains me to spend $40+ on a new waterer only to have it break, leak, get covered in funk, crack, feeeze, and be a total pain to...

    Watering Cups For Ducks?

    Quick question. If I setup these watering cups in my aviaries, can My ducks use the cups as drinking water? I've never used these before. I just bought a ton of them for my quails and wanted to know if my ducks can use them too? I always have kiddie pools filled with water and 3 gallon...

    Almost 100% Muck Free Brooder

    It's a good thing ducklings are cute because they can muck up a brooder in 37 seconds flat . This design might have been discovered by others already, I don't get to the forums as often as I should, but this is what I have found that really honestly keeps a brooder almost completely muck free...
