We picked up this Intermidiate Bulk
Container for 25 dollars
from a neighbor.
The plan is to take advantage

gutters on the coop.
It should be more than enough
water for chickens and ducks and the nearby fruit trees that sometimes
need irrigation.

I also have a clear one like that, I have completely wrapped mine with black heavy duty landscape fabric. It is the only way to prevent algae growing inside and turning the IBC and water green
Keith — Good idea! I was figuring we might eventually protect it with black spray paint since exposure to sun will also break down the plastic. But wrapping it is a good alternative.
