If the posts are still there for us to read, and we can still reply, then I reply with what I do. Could still be useful. Ten years ago I did not know re the water pvc method.😁😉
I bought BP Free small buckets for their water. They can reach easily. Less chance of muck. Tho wild ducks dirty anything w water. Also sealed ends of pvc pipe with 90o connections and made holes along it. Chooks love it. Can empty into lage dish at end of pipe and rèfill. Nworks great.
