Here is something I switched over the weekend. Went to Harbor Freight and bought an oil change pan. The standard drinking water unit drops in the pan. I elevated it with a few blocks of wood. It has been a God send! They don't dribble the water now down onto the shavings. I'm still scooping the shavings out twice a day - but primarily for waste...not wet water clumps!
Also, we are giving them as much outdoor time as possible. Set up a pen with a tarp cover off their future hutch/coop area. That saves on the shavings and mess. Going on five weeks old now.
