For my brooder, play pen etc. I use an old well rinsed juice bottle. I ordered the nipples from Amazon and drilled per the instructions a hole in the hard cap. I drilled air holes around the sides near the bottom and hang it with wire. My day old chicks take right to it with no problem and boy is it better than hoping they don't drown, poop or scratch up shavings in to it. The Older gals will even hang upside down from their perch to drink from the longer one I have set up that is fed from a 5 gallon bucket on the outside of the run; which is great because I don't have to haul a hose into their pace and freak them out.


Notice the silver laced to the left too lazy to get down for a drink, she just reached underneath for a sip without loosing her spot.

That's amazing! I'll have to try this with my next pen. Thank you for the tips!

I am in Georgia now... working on 3 years I have been here...I just got my chickens back about 6 months ago. (I was in Florida). I live in Bibb County which is near Macon Ga.
 
Ugh! Just spent the whole afternoon digging and planting a new flower bed (Azaleas, since my chickens have eaten every flower in my yard!). Came in to eat dinner and then looked out my window to admire my flower bed. Ummmmm, what flower bed?!?!?! The chickens have successfully annihilated the whole thing in what, 30 minutes!? 4" of pine straw all over the yard, not one blade of monkey grass to be found! At least the azaleas are still there! OMG, where is the aspirin!?

Oh no!!

I've got the same problem, though so far mine haven't killed many of the flowers (Of course I only let them out twice a week for a couple of hours in the afternoons). Mine like to displace all the pinestraw covering my beds. I replaced the pine straw with pebbles in one of the beds, thinking it might help. Nope! They threw those pebbles every which way. My next project will be to get some short fencing around my flower beds. I've done it around my herb garden, and so far it's worked. I have a large enough yard I guess they don't want to bother flying over fences.
 
Im going to ask this question again i just got a beagle puppy and shes from a hunting line in trying to figure out how to make sure she doesnt go after mu chickens when shes older ( of course i wouldnt leave them alone togather) but they are rabbit hunting dogs trained to dig
