Hi you guys!! So I made this to see what kind of improvements you made for your coops, runs, and chicken tractors
The improvements can be clever ways to feed your girls, how you keep them from wasting, ways to water them, keeping water from freezing over, heating your coop, lighting your coop, etc etc
I will start us off!!
WATER HEATER
This is more of a way to keep water from freezing over but it can really give enough heat in your coop for your girls as well!
WATERING NIPPLES
I made this waterer for my chicks when they where little. It's more for a brooder but you can very easily add water nipples to the bottom of a bucket if you want the water to last longer and water more girls
PVC PIPE FEEDER
This drian PVC pipe feeder works great and since I used a drain pipe it was really easy to cut. I used a utility knife to make all the cuts. Drain pipe is not only easy to cut but it was half of what normal PVC would cost!
Here is how you can adjust the flow of the feed in the pipe
Hope these are helpful!!
