I tried making the water pail that would hang like the feeders. I found as my hens like to jump and sit on things they would dump the water out more frequently. maybe why they dont make them to hang?
Wonderful. The only reason that I do these is to help others. The only reason that I keep on doing it is when people like you confirm that I am helping someone.
When my chickens go to roost some face forward and some face backwards. So plan on making the roosts far enough apart so that backward chickens don’t poop on the chickens below them. Also do not put the roost close to the wall. Chickens that are too close to the wall will break all of thier tail feathers while they are sleeping if they are too close to the wall. As far as position relative to the nest boxes or any other chicken furniture, none of that matters.
Thank you for this video. We are just finishing our chicken coop building. Was wondering if it mattered about the roost position? higher than nest boxes?? should the roost or boxes face a certain way?

thank you
I really like the job you have done constructing your chicken house. It shows a lot of care and planning.
Yep, they poop on everything. lol.. Good to know about hanging a waterer. One lesson I won’t have to learn the hard way. Thanks for that.
Thank you.
I installed a chain on the other end of the house to hang the waterer as well. I, like you, found out the hard way that it wouldn’t work.
