I have my own hens at home and am about to begin a school project, my teacher wants to know how I can reduce the use of water when taking care of laying hens. Does anyone have any great ideas that they use that works? Thanks in advance :)
 
x2 A closed nipple system means no more spilled or soiled water. As a side note horizontal nipples leak less than the vertical nipples saving even more water.
 
What do you mean by... 'reduce the use of water'....and the word 'sustain' in the title?
They need to have water available at all times...and they don't 'use' much.

Possibly, saving water could apply to how the coop is cleaned also? There are a number of methods, such as the deep litter method that would reduce the physical cleaning of a coop with water.

<shrugs> I dunno. Can't give an answer if I don't know the real question.... and it's context.
