video of my rain collecting automatic watering system

This is very much inspired by others here on the forum. I thought I'd post a video to show how I've done what others have done. Thanks for the inspiration!

Good job. If I had a set up like that, I'd have to put the hose in it as we almost never get rain.

great minds think alike, mine is a bit different but along the same line
bottom swivels to clean the cup out

I like that red bowl waterer. I'm thinking of putting one of those in the coop as well.

We did get a few minutes of rain here the other day. Almost enough to settle the dust. I caught about 20 gallons off the coop roof.

Those red bowls are great they have a float in them so the bowl always stays full of water.

good setup. You're reading my mind. Now just have to add to hubby's to do list.

My list is long too. It's all about Time and Money... two things of which I fall short

That's a great system - and looks pretty simple to set up. Question: if water sits in the barrel, doesn't it get scummy?

I just have to ask: Was that a chicken under that barrel, if so she did not want to be in the video!

Good job!
