You could place them on cylinders and put smaller steps next to it.. see mine in these pics...It was 6" ~ but the girls have raised the level of their yard by 6" over 3 years.They keep burying the bricks I sit their water on & then they just dirty the water constantly. If I raise it too high the Littlest won't be able to reach it...
I stack mine as high as I can get... they can still get dirty but not near as bad! It stays pretty clean mostly...It was 6" ~ but the girls have raised the level of their yard by 6" over 3 years.
Do you have somewhere you could hang a waterer?I wish I could come up with a fool proof way of keeping their water clean.
Not in the coop. It would take up too much space. I've considered one of those & will probably get around to doing it in the outside run eventually but I am too tight for space in the coop run.
Don't feel bad. It's good to know that it can happen. Gives me a goal.Thanks, Bob. I feel a little mean posting how well this has gone when I know you are still having issues.

I've put the girls water bowls up on cinder blocks. It still gets some dirt kicked into it but not much. Poos very rarely.
I do wonder about breed quality in the States. I tried to wriggle out of getting a GLW because I knew you'd had issues with Sansa but Gloriana is an absolute sweetheart! Yes, yes, I know each bird is an individual ~ but honestly, I've seen so many mean GLW posts I was really dubious. I would have passed but the man was really keen so against my better judgement...Don't feel bad. It's good to know that it can happen. Gives me a goal.
and I couldn't have got a nicer bird!
Now that I might be able to do! Thanks ACM!
This is our nipple waterer. Deana uses it the most.
