How do you get water and food to your chickens? (Share your storys!)

[Mehjr10]

It Sounds Like it on the hobbies, We were actually catching the tarpon in the Rio Frio they go up into lake Nicaragua to spawn and live in the river some 200+ fish and a load of fun. The bill fishing is one of my next salt water trips to take tuna would be fun..

I have Barred Rocks, RIR production, 1 Heritage RIR Roo, White Leghorns, Red Sex Links, Cochins, Salmon Fav trio with the Roo from ASU Breeding program. Two Buff Brahma roos that I took in, one of which is going to my daughter soon. 1 Eater Egger and 6 guineas..

I hatched 8 barnyard chicks out and now have two Mallard ducks.

I usually run a couple of batches of Cornish X during the summer, to add to the freezer.

Nice I wish I had the ability to add birds at will I have to hatch all my own birds here with eggs brought back every 3 months but we are coming along

yes i was thinking the same as the valve will regulte flow but not pressure @ .43 per foot of elavation x8.2 lbs x 55 gallons it may be to much i think a float valve and second tank will work tnx

Even simpler, you could also just get a pressure reducer that fits the hose portion. For soaker hoses it is just a round piece of plastic with a small hole in the middle that fits inside the hose fitting, or look in the drip irrigation section for a preset one that screws on.
