Automatic chicken waterer bucket holder
This automatic bucket waterer was easy to put together with a DIY kit, a shelf bracket, some scrap
wood, and a handfull of drywall screws.
A future system will make use
of a 50 gallon plastic drum with some sort of gutter collecting
run off water from the roof of the chicken coop.

Was mine the prototype? It's still going strong.

It sure was! We've decided that if you're raising more than about 15 chickens in the same area, the bucket waterer is the best. I was having to water those cockerels way too much (every other day! Aren't I spoiled?
