What do you do to make watering easier/time-efficient? I am going back to work driving school-bus on the 23rd, and I won't be home between 5:30a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Right now I have a 5 gal. waterer for my chickens, which works well----but what about my ducks? I have been filling 4-1gal. buckets and 2- 5 gal. containers for them each morning---this will not be possible when I go back to work as it takes too much time. For winter, I was planning on filling up one really huge container and putting a heater in it, but this will be for all the birds out in the huge free-range pen, and the ducks will have it dirty within an hour! I'm thinking that I'm going to be taking warm water up to the night-time pens every evening, and then the one big container for daytime. Just wondered what everyone else was doing.
I was already getting up at 3:30 a.m. to take care of the animals last school-year, but I didn't have ducks then-----I don't want to get up ANY earlier!!!
