By automatic i mean like fill once a week or so and have it be okay, so they can eat/drink whenever they please. I live in iowa, very close to Omaha Nebraska (in america)
I am making sure that the dimensions of the new coop will have more than enough space for 20 chickens. At least 4 square feet per bird in the run, at least 1 square feet per bird in the hen house, and at least 1 nesting box per 3 chickens. I have been doing a lot of research on this
I think I, may start the building early, probably in about a week or so (because I don't live there full time). I have been giving them toys to lighten up the mood a little though
I cannot let them free range due to vultures, owls, dogs, coyotes, et cedra. But those were the same plan. One paper was just the inside. I did make a new plan though, just to give my father some extra options to choose from
Does anybody know how to build an automatic feeder or waterer. I have seen that some people have it, but I don't know how to build it. Any links to something that could help, website or YouTube?
It has come to my attention that my coop and run are smaller than they should be, so I am renovating. I am looking for cheaper ways to build my own coop, ideas, and tips. Thank you sooo much in advance. My girls will be happier.
