I have 5 free range chickens 4 hens & 1 roo, and they keep knocking dwn the food bowl & poop in waterer so i want to make a auto water without using the hose any ideas or pics be good, and what's better nipples or cups? My hens are 7 months old rooster is a year old!! Thank you!!
A 5 gallon bucket and some nipples for under $10 you will be golden... Vertical nipples are dirt cheap but they have a tendency to leak, horizontals are a little more but leak less... I wouldn't bother with the cups... If you want more water use a 30 gallon or 55 gallon food grade plastic barrel instead of the bucket...
