This automatic waterer is the part I'm probably most proud of...beside the decision to keep chickens in the first place. I hated the idea of having to clean out a poop-filled waterer a few times each day, and given the fact that my wife and I travel a good bit, we knew it just wouldn't be possible sometimes. So this solution allows the girls to have fresh water whenever they need it, and we just have to fill the bucket every couple of weeks or so.
