Which feeder and waterer do you like best?

I’m looking for suggestions for which feeder and waterer y’all like best? I have 9 hens. I’ve seen some people do the PVC pipe situation or should i get hanging feeders and waterers? Thanks!

The only problem with regular feeders is the chickens love to bill the food out of the feeder onto the ground. That is where the pvc pipe invention came into play, so they cant move their head around to spill it out. I use plastic rain gutters with success because it has lips on it. They don't hold as much food but I'm out there everyday anyways.

Hanging waterers work fine unless you need to keep them from freezing. Then you will need to do something else.

I use horizontal nipple waterers and no waste feeders. I can go away for a week at a time and not worry about my 23 chickens running out of food or water.

Below is a link for my heated waterer and a link for the no waste feeder thread.
