Summer watering systems for a large flock

Hmmm....that's interesting....we get well below zero here and if we lose power for a day or two (which frequently happens in the dead of winter) my coop gets just as cold as outside....

I'd love to see more photos of your watering set up. I have rabbit feeders from Bass Equipment that I use for my chickens. I only have to fill them about every other day.

I'll try to get some more detailed pics when I get home. Since my husband came up with this I had my doubts, but it has worked like a dream!

LOL I know the feeling! My husband built my entire coop and didn't listen to me with some aspects of it but others he did a good job. It's still not finished yet and he still has to make gates & proper shelters on my waterfowl pens and finish my second coop this summer....but with a baby on the way, I'm not sure how much help or "motivation" I can provide when it's 95+ degrees outside and I'm 8 months preggo! LOL

Thank goodness mine didn't have any say so in building my pens or coops. He can't nail two boards together! I use to build homemade furniture as a business so I do know to measure twice cut once. He did hire some help to get most of it done for me though. I call him my financial consultant. I tell him what I need and he finances it!
