In the Brooder
Hey. I'm in need of a little help/guidance!
We currently rent the house that we live in. There is a "yard hydrant" in our barn but we can't figure out how to make water come out of it. Now, I'm from the south and have never lived on a farm or anything as "country" as this so I have no clue about any of this stuff. The handle pulls up, but no water comes out. Yes, we do have a well. My neighbor said that there should be a lever of some sort in the basement maybe that turns the hydrant on and off. I have NO clue what I'm looking for.
It would be great if someone could help me out a little bit because right now we are carrying a plant watering can from our house (which we fill up in the sink) down to our barn and the only other spigot we have is on the back side of our house (farther away from the barn). I'd love to be able to fill up our girls water from inside the barn. It would make things so much easier.
