After a long summer day in the Florida heat, our chickens water dishes empty and dirty quickly. We knew we needed a bigger water dish and needed one to be elevated to keep it clean, so we came up with an idea. Our previous hanging dishes on the side of the coop stay pretty clean, but difficult...
My chickens are in a 18x18 run.. the left over food is attracting a insane amount of bugs.
= wasted food! Moisture gets in it through the night, mud, and even rain that somehow blows into the food.
What are thoughts on troughs? Or maybe throwing food in a bowl type thing for them to eat out...
