tell me about it!!! I am still working on it... i have been cleaning out the water multiple times a day.... i want to put the water and food up on bricks in their tank... they are in an old reptile tank with a screened in top... if there was a way I didn't need the screened in top it would make my life much easier!!! (they are crazy and fly out!!!)

thanks Jeff!! I will let you know how it turns out!I hung the water up as high as possible. Whatever you use to elevate them, make sure that there is no where for your peeps to stand while they are eating/drinking. You can break a brick by striking it with a hammer. It may take a couple of tries to get one the size you want. Good luck...

yes my husband keeps saying he wants to get this once we put the babies in the coop/// i must admit they are growing so big so fast!!! that might be sooner than i originally planned.I wish I'd learned earlier to use the water nipples in the brooder! I didn't buy them until a few days before my flock went into the coop. It would have saved a lot of mess! The chicks learn to use the nipples within seconds. You can buy a pre-made fount with the nipples or just buy the nipples and screw into the bottom of any plastic container with a handle to hang it. Instead of changing out water 3-4 times a day, I did it every other day.
