Homemade feeders and waterers. *pics please*

I have the horizontal nipples
And they don't make even as much as one drip. No mess!!!

Now that I see all these success stories I will likely get these. Waiting to see if my "fix" helps

This is what I made, I added a bucket a the bottom that I cut off the sides and turned into a bowl. ( simply light painting pale) its gravity feed, so when we are away for the weekends all I need to do it have some one tend to collecting eggs. recycled a 4' piece of pvc that already had a cap on it! unscrew it add...and im good to go for about a week or so!

I love this..is there anything you do to the water to keep it clean and free from mosquitos or anything else that could clog up the system?

How much water you get off the roof? Enough to keep it full or can you hardly tell?

Items I had laying about. Cost: $0.00


The watering station (like the feeding station and nesting boxes) is accessed through my workshop. The white plastic sheet is in the tray because my girls were used to drinking out of a white container and didn't seem to notice the water in just the black tray... unti I added the sheet that is,


I definitely made sure that the hole in the jugs was below the rim of the tray.


The finished autofill waterer. I figure next winter, if I need to, I can put a "flat warmer" (used for starting seeds) underneath to keep the water from freezing.
