I have a dear husband that loves to solve problems and come up with new ideas.
My 1st 3 waterers are the standard 1 or 3 gallon one's with nipples or cups on side hung from, perches, branches, and a shepherds hook. The last waterer pictured below is a medium grade trash can we use outside in winter to provide water in the cold winter months. I will place a stock tank heater in to keep it from freezing and it has a pump (on timer) that helps keeps water fresh and thawed.
My husband came up with a
filler tube (next 2 pics ) for a hose that I can fill it from outside of coop.
I tried gutter on water can but we have too many needles from our evergreen tree.
My feeders(2) one is standard 5 gallon no waste feeder which has served me well with differing heights on hens this year .
My next feeder is my 4or3" feeder to a trough, the hens threw so much feed though I had hubby cover with plastic chicken wire but it was too constricting so I cut "head" holes in it and they love it! I haven't paid attention how much or how long yet since they're pretty new feeders. I still give wet mash daily to them and they LOVE that the most.
We also have an inside water system for bitter cold weather but not being used right now
