| Home made waterer for chickens |
We made a waterer for our girls (chickens) from recycled materials - a champagne bottle and a piece of PVC pipe with bottom cap. The bottle holds water and automatically releases it when the water level gets below the neck of the bottle. A small feeding window will keep water clean.
How to make it?
Cut the pipe to length (approx. 25 cm) and this will hold the bottle neck about 2 cm above the bottom of the pipe. (see photo) A 2 cm water level will be constantly held in the waterer. Then cut a small window 5x10 cm for chooks to stick their heads in to drink. The window must be above the water level otherwise all water contents will spill out. That’s all.
You do not need to buy a waterer, just recycle a bottle and a piece of pipe and it does the same job if not better.
