    What watering and feeding system do you use?

    They do stand on the edge, I think I'm going to add a board above the feed so they can get their heads in the feeder, but not their bodies. I'll give them 4 inches or so, that should fix it.

    What watering and feeding system do you use?

    My feeder, next to my waterer. Holds an excessive amount, but I can go without feeding for up to 3 weeks if I fill it.

    [/IMG] Simple, cheap, easy to build. Can be hung with rope or a tie down strap, easy to refill.

    What watering and feeding system do you use?

    I used a simple 5 gallon bucket from Home Depot, it might have cost 3 dollars, and I added 5 nipples to the bottom. Works well. The whole thing cost about 15 dollars and was simple to put together. You can buy a lid or make one to keep debris out of the waterer, just make sure it is vented so...

    Anyone tried watering cups?

    Has anyone tried the self filling watering cups? I have chicken nipples, with 19 chickens they're great, but the 2 ducks and a goose get water everywhere. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
