That sounds like a great idea! We use a nipple waterer called the Hen Hydrater that we got from Tractor Supply. I'm trying to figure out a way to keep it from freezing, too. Maybe I can work out something similar. Thanks for the great inspiration!
Thanks for the welcome! I'm excited to be here. We have a mixed flock of Barred Rocks, Ameraucanas, a Welsummer and a Crested Cream Legbar. These critters bring us lots of enjoyment and delicious eggs.
