Taking a trip in 2 months and planning on longer term food and water containers for our covered run area so they dont need to be refilled by those stopping in to check on them and gather eggs.
DIY water nipples and PVC ports is the plan.
I'm looking at 32 gallon round plastic garbage cans with snap on lids, one for food, one for water.
Curious as to your guesses as to how long that would last 21 birds? Birds all just turned 1 year old.
I don't want to go the 55 gal drum route if I don't have to. They are soooo big and I'd have to go pick them up which I don't want to do.
I have a 5 gallon bucket nipple waterer now I have filled it to the top to see how many days it lasts them . . .
