Thanks for the welcome Ben's Hens :) I ended up making a basic nipple feeder.. The drum was just a stopgap measure until I could sort out a more permanent water storage tank.. I made it so the "nipple bar" could be taken off & used in the new build when I get around to it.. Had problems with...

Hi there... New to the forum & thought you might like a look at the feeder we made up... Got the idea from a fellow Aussie.. There is a part 2 clip that covers the 1 issue we were having with it & it now works like a dream.. Smaller ones can be made to hang from the roof of the pen as well...
