Today I built the bitties a better watering system. They would go through their water too quickly with their regular waterers. I also think they were knocking the waterers over and spilling some of it.
The new system will keep them from spilling it and it also has a larger 'reservoir'. Not only will it have water in the bottle, but there will also be water in the pipe and the tubing which adds to the size of the reservoir. It does leak a bit around the poultry nipples because I didn't have a bit that was the right size for the nipples. So I had to grind the hole out a bit and that didn't make for a very smooth hole. I can just use some silicone to seal it up a bit better after the water has all been drank or leaked out.
I didn't do a post yesterday because I spent a good portion of the day drilling the holes and such and getting everything ready. Then I installed it early this morning.
I also sectioned off a little 'yard' so they could have some roaming space. I couldn't let them out in the coop anymore because I've got three ducks sitting on eggs. They would not be happy about the bitties running around their nests.
Ok friends. I need to get outside and move the tractors and get some more work done weeding my raised beds. Take care all and have a good day.
