The yard is 64' x 64'. The tarp is for shade. The coop is inside the barn. It is 8' x 16'.
14 week Blue Cochin rooster. I have 2.

Here's a shot of the nipple water bucket. Easy to do. Drill holes. Screw in nipples so that they just barely compress the silicone washer.
I rotated the original, but when I loaded it to BYC, it reverted to the unrotated version. Tip your computer.
The top is just sitting on the bucket, not snapped down. Hang it so that the chickens can walk under it without having to duck.
Note the rope length adjuster. Use a bucket with a wire handle (bail). Plastic bails will eventually crack and break. Any chicken standing under the bucket when this happens will also break.

Awesome pix as always John! Your runners look pretty awesome! Guinea hens say buckwheat, buckwheat? and have really small waddles. Cocks are super aggressive and annoying, tictictic tic tic tic UGH!

I have to admit when I took my youngest DD for her license I had tears. The super sweet BMV lady I always talk to was in tears too, our kids went to school together. I don't know her name. Looking back, I should have asked, the moment realizing that my last child was grown and my nest, empty was very painful. What next? My birds
