We got our chickens about the same time. It's amazing what you learn along the way. To see you put all those insights into a new build is really satisfying. And your presentation was clear and full of helpful photos. Great job!
Tara, I think the regulator is on the red cap (otherwise, the thing would overflow). But I would check the water fountain website to be sure. http://chickenfountain.com/ Chet
Steve, the red cap is a regulator. It comes with the water fountain (follow the link in the post). I'd say the nipples are about 10-12 inches off the ground. Good luck. Chet
Here’s the finished product. Cost about $1,500 (I was shooting for $500 - Oops).
The story of the build goes:
Buy house in Northern California.
Think it would be nice to have chickens.
