This probably won't work for you, but I hung my feeders and waterers on chains from the ceiling. I could adjust the height as needed. I wanted them to stand tall as they ate and drank. Just used a regular chicken waterer. It was circular so they could get all around it. Good luck on your enterprise.Hi. First time with cornish x and nearly done with tractor build. I will have 30 in a 6x10 hoop style mobile tractor. I have feeders and security handled already but need guidance on watering. View attachment 3516805
I’ve planned for two 5 gal buckets with autofill cups to offer better hydration than horizontal nipple waterers. I am not sure how many cups I need per bucket though because I imagine them crowding feeders more so than waterers…am I wrong there?
There are two sizes of cups- regular (shown) or large which is 3 inches diameter. I can prob fit 5-6 reg size cups versus 3 large cups per bucket— but that is guessing.
My concerns are breakage leading to emptied buckets, spacing of cups leading to crowding at the cups.
I think the larger cups would be more problematic pertaining to my concerns but would love to get opinions.
