I would like to hear from those who have hard winters and how you keep water from freezing.

On the main page for the coop designs there's a button that says 'add a coop design'. But I don't know if that's just coops, or feeders too. Maybe it gets moderated and sorted before it's entered as a post here.

Does anyone have any ideas for a duck waterer and maybe a feeder for them too? Not too fond of the nipple idea and I don't really want them to run through their drinking water or knocking it over constantly...?! You can also send me a message if you'd prefer...

I think you have to be "special" to get your stuff posted here. Mine would be great on here also.

Regarding the plastics - a lot of the plastics that your food comes in and sits in as you go through it is of questionable safety.

You can find 2-gallon food-grade buckets that are BPA free on Amazon. I just got mine this week and they're the perfect size for a small flock. I made a waterer using nipples, and it couldn't have been easier! Just drilled several holes in the bottom of the bucket with a 1/4-inch drill bit and hand-twisted the nipples into the holes. I attached a chain to the handle and hung it from the roof in my run. Easy solution for clean, safe water for my chickie-poos!

How I made a PVC pipe feeder
I used a heavy plastic plate, and screwed a block of wood to the bottom of the PVC pipe then screwed that to the plate. Then I drilled 4 - 1/2" holes in the PVC just above the block of wood. I also drilled a couple holes in the top to hang the feeder.The chicks peck at the hole and the food falls onto the plate for them to eat. Very little waste, if any.
