The Auto Chicken Water Stick - The Parts List: Home Depot Qty 1 - 2ft Stick of 1 inch PVC Part Number 61194211256 $1.88 Qty 1 - 1in PVC Cap Part Number 049081136826 $0.53 Qty 1 - 1in x 3/4in Reducing Female Adapter Part Number 049081130589 $0.86 Qty 1 - 3/4in MNPTxFHT PVC Swivel Part Number 046878533646 $1.86 Qty 4 - Solway Horizontal Chicken Nipples from eBay $2.05 ea $8.40 http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-HORIZONT...054?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item338bfeed76 You will also need some teflon pipe tape and your favorite PVC glue. I use the new all-in-one spray stuff. This is the Female Hose Adapter. This is the 1 inch to 3/4 Female Reducing Adapter. The 1 inch cap end. The Solway Water Nipple. Now take a marker and mark your holes on the 1 inch pipe. I put them at 3-8-13-18. I also take advantage of the print to make sure they are straight. Next drill pilot holes over your marks. I use a small 1/8 drill bit for this. Next drill the holes out to 3/8. Clean the holes up with a rasp, file, or in my case a pocket knife. Also blow/clean out all the shavings from the PVC. Now you are ready to glue the cap on one end and the female threaded adapter on the other. Let the glue dry. The spray sets up pretty good in about 10 minutes. Put teflon tape on the thread of the hose adapter and thread into the female adapter. Thread the chicken nipples into the holes on the PVC. Make sure your thread all the way flush or they will leak. Here it is when its done. Now just connect it to your favorite watersource. Mine happens to be a rain barrel, but you can also connect it directly to your water hose if you add a low pressure valve to your hose bib.

Very helpful! Thank you! I may install one of these in my new breeder coop.

Not sure who's still around from last summer and remembers my cattle getting stolen. But today we finally made it to court, and they were indicted for theft of livestock. Just for an update.

I wasn't here last summer, but I remember hearing about them last fall. Glad they caught them things are moving along.

Well actually I am getting chicks 10 black ameraucanas

And I am getting mine from you!


Anyone know where to get some good beignets from in my area?

You will also need some teflon pipe tape and your favorite PVC glue. I use the new all-in-one spray stuff.

This is the Female Hose Adapter.

This is the 1 inch to 3/4 Female Reducing Adapter.

The 1 inch cap end.

The Solway Water Nipple.


Now take a marker and mark your holes on the 1 inch pipe. I put them at 3-8-13-18. I also take advantage of the print to make sure they are straight.


Next drill pilot holes over your marks. I use a small 1/8 drill bit for this.


Next drill the holes out to 3/8.


Clean the holes up with a rasp, file, or in my case a pocket knife. Also blow/clean out all the shavings from the PVC.


Now you are ready to glue the cap on one end and the female threaded adapter on the other.




Let the glue dry. The spray sets up pretty good in about 10 minutes. Put teflon tape on the thread of the hose adapter and thread into the female adapter.




Thread the chicken nipples into the holes on the PVC. Make sure your thread all the way flush or they will leak.


Here it is when its done.

Wow! That is great news!! Sooo did you get the cattle back or are they having to compensate you for the loss??

First off this guy

I am him a lot when I am chatting with ya'll. I am for sure Laughing Out Loud.

Next.....foam is drying up.... I found the ad and I have sent my email. If it all turns out well and she can get me those around the middle of April, I will be coming up that way and I will just have to reach out to some of ya'll. There was 3 different places you could pick up the chicks and one is just up from Greenville I think. Anyway..... ROAD TRIP!!!!

I was born in Emory...somewhere around thereabouts. Just a bit of trivia that probably no one cares about!!!

Well, I just don't know what to do! Since Lucy passed on to Chicken Heaven, I have room for 1-3 more chickens...they will be squished at night if I get 3 more but it's all good! I want a Maran-but no chicks, just not set up for chicks, but no one has Maran's that are juveniles. Murray Mc murray has some Cuckoo Maran's but the shipping is 75$ for ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know where I could get a nice chocolate egg layer (or two), 15-20 weeks, close by?? I'd even travel up to an hour, but not really more than that. Don't want them that bad. UGH
And I don't want them bad enough for 75$ shipping. I don't have a husband who would kill me but I'd kill myself at that poor choice of money management!!!
Even the hatchery close by only has 1 week old chicks.

i dont have any chocolate layers for sale .. i do have some wellsumers and marans in the bator.. but i have some 1 yr or just under one yr heritage rir hens for sale. i have a friend who works in houston so she could bring them . they lay light brown eggs are big beautiful hens pm me if they would be of interest . good luck finding some.

We did get them back, though took almost a year to find them by the time it was said and done. But they are suppose to be paying restitution to myself as well as the family they sold our cows too.

Yea, Emory is just down the road a bit. Oddly enough, I lived in Deer Park, Clear Lake area for 18 years. LOL Just a bit of return trivia.
