I actually have a home made system that is hooked up to a water timer. It goes off three times a day and drips down to the lower trays. I have 12 trays. There is a more complete description of it on my website www.workdaychickenpictures.com under "Chickens and Gardens".
What are you using for your growing medium? Baby blanket/cocoa mat?
I was considering doing something like this myself but I was concerned over how long the blades of grass were. They'll swallow them whole and I'm somewhat paranoid that it may cause crop blockage seeing how much they gorge themselves. The same thing regarding what's left with the baby blanket -- if they start eating that stuff made from very fine cocoa husk fibers...
Right now I grow my grass, then pull them out of the mat and cut them up (the roots pull out easily and are LONG).
