Jon Miller’s
chicken waterer setup that uses a toilet float to stay full?  Jon sent me some
lovely followup photos of his homemade waterer in action. 



This lady seems to be
having a few issues figuring out how to drink, but she clearly got it
eventually, as you can see in the photo below:

Thanks for sharing,
Jon!  You’ve got some lovely, happy hens!

Homemade chicken tractor part VI

my last post, I showed how Mark
used green plastic netting to cover the chicken tractor. 

Another innovation in this
chicken tractor is the addition of a day time roost out in the open in
addition
to the night time area under the roof.  I don’t have any proof,
but I think it’s good
for the morale of the flock to have multiple areas where a hen can be
to
herself and get some personal space.

This is the end of
this construction series, but we plan to build a new chicken tractor
sometime soon with even more innovations, so stay tuned! 
Meanwhile, check out our homemade chicken
waterer, perfect for
tractors.
