Finished watering station install

[drmolarmagic]

Just finished my water station (sorry pic is sideways I can’t fix it) I ran water hoses from the rain barrel outside to a faucet and a row of chicken water cups
Now let’s see it the birds like it. This with the bucket on the other side should be plenty of water for everyone

To the rescue,,,,,,,,,,, Is this for your chickens,,, or doves????

 

[drmolarmagic]

Honestly its for whomever is thirsty. the Chickens, Doves, Pigeons, and I'm sure the feral mouse colony that lives under the floor.......

oh and thx for the photo flip!!!!

Reason I asked...
The cups are fine for chicken,,, because of the way they drink. Pigeons need to submerge their whole beak to drink,,, Those cups do not look like deep enough for that to happen.
Oh,,,,, the mickey mouse thanks you

Well, there is a 5 gallon traditional watering bucket for everyone, and I've seen the pigeons drink a bit out of these cups, mainly the center one that appears to leak and is always full. I hooked this up as an additional water source as it gets hot in the bird house even with the vent and exhaust fans so I feel better that they have LOTS of water to keep hydrated.

and the cups that overflow are great for mouse bathtubs also.
