True.

For food dish: stainless steel dog dish set in a plastic pail (like an ice cream bucket or pail often used as an easter basket). The pail raises the dog dish to about back high so they don't flip the feed out with their beaks. It also keeps them from standing on the edge much or tipping it over if they do. I put sand or gravel in the pail under the dog dish to weight it but I'm not sure it matters.

For water: a 3-quart, stainless-steel, vacuum-sealed, double-walled pail that started life as an ice bucket for chilling wine.

I have a 5 gallon HN bucket. Nov-mar it has a submersible heater.
A small rabbit feeder for oyster shell.
Home made PVC feeder. This feeder keeps 11 hens fed for 2+days when full. The girls don't make much of a mess. On rare occasions there is feed on the ground, I let the feeder go empty and the girls eat off the ground. I have always used pellets.

I use a spare 2 gallon waterer to fill the five gallon.
I use a one gallon pitcher to bring out the feed.

I've had one of these for 8 years. People complain about pellets sticking in it, but I use TSC mini pellets. I've found it hard to beat. Especially for going out of town. This along side free ranging. Chickens are healthier free ranged I've found too. All the grasshoppers and bugs they clean up, greens they eat.. makes a ton of difference and really offsets feed cost.

best waterer I've found is is plasson drinker and boiler types.

I like the idea, been thinking about a deer feeder for while. Gives them something to go under while eating too.

The best under what conditions?

No feeder or waterer is best under all conditions.

Give us the conditions please.

Do you have a rodent problem or a wild bird problem yet? A super tight built coop and run so you will never face feed theft?

That results in a very different answer, right?
