My OH has just made an automatic water dispenser!
And is almost finished a 'treadle' feeder.
(pics to folow)
We haven't found anyone to feed and watet the chooks while away getting married. My mum normally does them but is coming with us. The neighbour who has done them in the past over feeds them and let the drinkers run bone dry.
As a result we are trying to put measures in place for the chooks so we don't have to rely on other people.
I got an outside dustbin and he has connected up the automatic drinker and suspended it in the run. It works on a gravity filler.
he is making a treadle so they can get the food whenever they want and will hopefully stop the wild birds making themselves so at home.
Has anyone got homemade feeders or such drinkers and has had any problems?
I've only got 3 weeks to ensure they work before we go away!
