Hi all - first post by me.
New with hens and having trouble with slime in my waterers.
My waterers are inside the coop in the shade, the ladies are outside all day with freedom to go in and out of the coop.
Both waterers - a 3 gal and a 5 gal - get slimy by day 2.
I scrub them inside and out - but still, they get slimy and I dont think the ladies want to drink from them.
What can I do? Can I add something (no chemical suggestions, please - I am a toxin free home)
Thanks.
