2 Gallon Double Wall Fount

If these waterers aren't fairly level they leak -- that's pretty obvious. We don't have a lot of flat level spots in our chicken areas, so decided to hang our waterers and let gravity level them...

I am not positive, but I would say the water. Since it is powdered and all the chick feed I have seen is dry, it would probably not be ingested at the rate at which it was intended to be.

Home to 3 grown hens, 25 pullets hatched 03/02/2012, 3 Arabian horses and 10 barn cats. Oh, and 4 humans.

Breeds: 5 Red Sex Link, 1 Buff Orpington, 1 White Rock, 1 Production Red, 5 Speckled Sussex, 3 Light Brahma, 10 EE, 2 Cuckoo Marans

I always put it in the water at a rate of one teaspoon per gallon of water for at least five days and sprinkle a teaspoon on the chick feed for those five days too...I then add electrolytes and vitamins to the water starting on day six.
