Water/Feeder Ideas?

[Adrien515]

Hey guys, so I’ looking into building a new waterer and feeder for my bantams. There’s so many designs, I don’t know where to start. Just looking for suggestions on what y’all use and why, the pros and cons to it, and of course a few ideas of what I could do!!

I have these, home made, lots of similar ideas on here, they hold a lot. Large marans have no issue using them

I feed fermented feed and mine just eat out of buckets. ://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/fortex-4-qt-rubber-feeder-pan?cm_vc=-10005

there from tractor supply real cheap but last FOREVER either I raise it up on a brick or leave it on the ground, depending on the size of the birds housed there

I don't have bantams maybe @BantamFan4Life can help you narrow down your choices or suggest something.

my bantams and seramas can reach the bin I use just fine they jump on the brick then on the rim of the bin and eat.

I use 3L rubber feed pans. You can't get any easier than that. I like them because they are very rugged, they hold a lot, they are easy to clean, and chickens can't get stuck in them.

very similar to what I use I have various sizes for my diffrent sized groups (some are smaller birds some I have smaller amounts of) for my bigger birds they kick the dirt in it so I simply put it on a brick. real easy for fermented feed which is what I feed.

Forgot to add my freisians are large fowl but same size as most large fowl bantam versions and they manage the hoppers
