Chicken tractor Winter preparation

chicken tractor waterer modification

Winter is setting in, and we
like to switch from a
2 gallon bucket waterer down to a half gallon Avian Aqua
Miser original
for our
girls in a tractor.




It makes it easier to switch
out when you forget to take in the water at night and it freezes solid.
We usually bring the frozen one in to thaw for tomorrow and swap it out
with a fresh one.




The 2
gallon bucket holder
can
be built with a gap just big enough for the Avian Aqua Miser original
to fit into.

Experimental roll out nest box

using a laundry basket as a roll out nest box?

We hope our ducks learn to
walk up and lay their eggs in this tilted laundry basket.




The back 3 inches are blocked.



The egg
should roll to the back where it will be safe from being stepped on by
the next duck waiting to lay her egg.




Time will tell if this works
at solving our dirty duck egg problem.
