I made feeder out of a 3' long 6'' metal vent pipe and a small plant pot holder. It cost me a total of like 8 bucks at home depot and holds 10-20 lbs of feed. For water i got a pastic 55 gallon drum and plan on hooking it up to an evap cooler float valve and trough.

no need to beat yourself up....

Apple cider vinegar (with the mother)...has several uses...some use it all the time, others just when they want a immune booster.

The vinegar helps loosen phlem, is a good source of potassium which helps with calcium absorpsion, keeps water from getting slimey etc....

I use it for my chickens (on and off) as well as myself. Word of caution, don't use it with a metal waterer. oh..most people use 1-2tsp per gallon.

Here is the most popular brand I've come across---often found at your local grocery store and almost definitively at health food stores
