For that small of a flock, you could just use a gallon sized milk jug.

I use them for feed and waterers.

I like them for feeders in my breeding pens because the birds can't knock out all the feed and make a mess.

For my free range flock (50+ chickens), I use the plastic waterers you can find at any feed store.

They also come in smaller sizes for smaller flocks.

We had four hens, and just used a plain plastic tub. It doesn't have to be anything too fancy. smile.png
