feed and water setup for flock that includes bantams

[bananakey]

I would love to see pics of the set ups for flocks that have bantams mixed in. Right now I have a hanging feeder that is up high enough that my standard chickens can reach but not poop in it. I use a bright tap igloo cooler waterer. It is on top of a cinder block so it is at eye level of the big chickens.

I'm have a couple bantam chicks that will be integrated soon. I figured I could put a brick or rock near the feeder & waterer so the bantams could get up on it to reach. Maybe that will work?

I really want something where the food and water will stay clean

Anyway, pictures and ideas of what others have done would be helpful.

Well, I don't have bantams, but after getting so tired of wasted feed this is what I did...and I think you could very well adjust one tube for your little ones:





As for my water setup? I don't know about you but I tired quickly of having to clean waterers every day!!

And this is what I did:



I just used a 2-1/2 gallon bucket (you can use a 5-gallon, but I can't lift that much)...bought horizontal water nipples (there are several different "types" but these are the best) .... drilled a 3/8" hole about 1-1/2" from the bottom of the bucket, screwed them in (they are self-tappers) and voila!! NO MORE DIRTY WATER!! yay!!
