I have a camera but since the heater needs to be plugged in it is right next to my coop and the camera is on my coop facing the run so can't really see it in the camera. I can see if a couple over there but not if they are drinking it.Well that's confusing for sure. Have you tried putting a camera on them to see if they're drinking when you're not around?
We have two treadle feeders that all my chickens use and 24/7 feed access. Yet in the morning, when I put 4 scoops of feed in dog bowl, it's the most exciting thing they've ever, ever, seen and they must rush to eat it. Never mind that the exact same food is sitting in the treadle feeders and they can eat it all day. Maybe your chickens are doing something similar, and are just waiting for you to push the button for the water to come out.
What is the material the trash barrel is made of? I'm assuming it's plastic and doesn't make scary sounds when you peck it? They might have just gotten used to it being hard to peck open and not realized it isn't hard to do any more.
Yes it is plastic so no scary sounds. Maybe it is hard to peck. I really don't want to have to make another one. Lol
