Supplies
1 - plastic pot base
4 - bricks
1 - rubber mulch tree ring
1 - poultry waterer
On the very bottom is the plastic pot base
Then place the 4 bricks inside the plastic pot base
Next comes the rubber mulch tree ring on top of the bricks and plastic pot base
And finally the poultry waterer on top of that!
The way ours is set up the bricks are slightly lower than the rim of the pot base so that the rubber mulch ring is angled down towards the waterer a bit so that if the water doesnt soak through right away it will run towards the center.
This is quite large and would not work well for a small brooder. However, Home Depot and other stores with a garden center sell the same type of rubber mulch that comes in strips that could possibly be cut to make a smaller version.
