After another day of chickens making a mess of their waterer, I'm looking at other options. I think that one like this would work:
The pvc with the poultry nipples could be mounted to the inside of the hardware cloth, with tubing going through the hardware cloth to a 5 gallon bucket. This would hold much more water, and prevent them from pooping in and on the waterer. I'm going away for a few weeks soon, but my family will still be here. I will be giving them lessons on how to take care of the chickens starting this weekend. I'm pretty sure that they don't want to clean poop out of the waterer every day, and this seems like a cheap, easy fix that will make everything much easier. Thoughts? I'd be paying for, making, and setting this up.
