I dropped by my mother-in-law’s coop the other day and took a look inside. “What an interesting feeder,” I said. “Where did that come from?”
She explained that the feeder had actually started life as a waterer. But the lip broke off, which meant the gravity-feed contraption no longer worked as intended. So now she fills the bucket with pellets as a low-tech gravity feeder. A great example of Appalachian ingenuity!
The 2-gallon Farm Innovators Chicken Drinker uses a nipple designed to carry the heat of the water to the outdoors. According to their literature, chickens can keep pecking up clean water using this product down past 0 Fahrenheit, and Mark’s mom has reported good results at least into the teens.
We’re curious to hear from anyone else who might have given this new heated waterer a try. What did you love and what did you hate about Farm Innovators’ contribution?
