wall mounted waterer

[dianer29]

Does anyone have any ideas concerning using a waterer in a small coop,that you mount on a wall which is accessible for Silkies, which are rather small birds. I will be providing a waterer plastic free standing one on the floor/ground of a run. Food will be kept in coop in 2 wall mounted containers that are galvenized. I do not want a metal waterer due to ACV that I use daily in their waterer ,following recomendations previously to use plastic. I need to have water supply in coop for the period of the day that they need or want to hang out in there. The coop will have entrance /exit both sides as I have 2 runs attached to the coop ,so even to pass thru to get to the other side (no pun intended) they can get water or food if need be. I researched online various poultry suppliers as well as a food and grain store and I cannot find anything. I know I read on a blog recently that some people use a waterer with a nipple..not sure if it is what I am looking for..Your input is appreciated.

Our silkies do fine with a rabbit bottle, the type with a nipple dripper on the end. They don't actually drip though.

I like this one on this site for a feeder!!!! And very cheap and easy especially if you buy it at the dip trays at a dollar store or resale shop, yard sale...etc...

Buckets ask for the throw ways at Walmart, they use them for icing buckets, go to any bakery or maybe even a fast food place BUT BLEACH THEM AND CLEAN THEM GOOD.

THIS IS SO EASY!!!

Build a chicken feeder on the cheep

A 2½-gallon bucket and relish tray make a fine chicken feeder for less than $5.
Holes drilled for feed to exit through
Tray taped in place prior to drilling fastening holes

Rob The Never Dry Auto........ from Walmart , can it be attached to coop wall (wood)? I am not sure if this type of waterer will work as coop is small and I cannot keep a hose in there . Also I need to have ACV in the waterer on an ongoing basis.
