Thank you for this video. We currently have the water cups attached to a 5 gallon bucket. Usually it’s is enough for our seven hens, but on a hot day, they run out of water. I will give this a try.

How do you combat the vacuum pressure as the water gets low? Drill a vent hole? Will that create an algae problem since it won’t be sealed then?

The water cycles often enough that it is fresh enough for the chickens. Remember, these are creatures that eat roadkill and live bugs. Their stomachs are tough!

so are you in an area where this could freeze, and if so can you use a water heater?
@theunhurriedfarm550811 ай бұрын
We're in SoCal, so it never freezes here. But any water heater you'd put into a livestock tank could go in something like this to prevent freezing.

Suggestion, run a water source in there hook to a bathroom, toilet float that way when the water level goes down the float will at turn on the water and constantly refill itself

That's a great idea for someone who's got consistent "always on" water source. In our case, we moved out coop and it is refilled every time our orchard gets watered.

We're actually based in Southern California (NOT unhurried), but working at eliminating hurry where we can. It takes work to move at a different pace than society around us. Part of that is working to be intentional about what we say "yes" to.

I have been playing with the idea of doing this myself as well. Live in eastern Colorado where the winters are anything but mild. What do you use to heat yours during the cold months?
@theunhurriedfarm5508 Жыл бұрын
We don't hit consistent freezing temps here in SoCal! I know others in freezing climates use a heating coil to keep the water above freezing. Not sure if the nipples have issue freezing, even if the barrel isn't frozen

I was first watching one of your vids on planting an orchard so... I tried to find out WHERE you are. After several minutes of searching, I came across this initial vid in which it's mentioned that you live in Southern CA. WHY don't gardening vids post RIGHT IN THE TITLE where the gardener is? I mean, I've wasted plenty of time on vids that are not at ALL helpful in the end because my region is so drastically different than theirs. Gardeners- PLEASE post your location in a very obvious and easy to find spot!
@theunhurriedfarm5508 Жыл бұрын
Hi Kathy! Sorry for the confusion. Many of the principles in my vids apply across climates. There are numerous variables that ANY grower will need to account for, even with the same city (topography of their property, soil type, shade, etc). I hope you were able to get some takeaways

We feed our chickens a lay-pellet from our local feed store! We also feed our kitchen scraps, weeds, and bug eaten garden veggies. We keep their lay pellets topped off, and find that our now 18 chickens go through about 30-35lb of feed a week.

I like to slice the avocado in half, then in half again, then just peal back the skin. As long as it is ripe enough the skin just peals back and you don't have to spoon it out at all. Not sure if that works on fresh avocados though.

Growing up we just had a 5 gallon bucket cut in half with an aquarium (fish tank) heater in it to try to keep it from always freezing (zone 7). I remember catching some "pet" tadpoles and keeping them in the bucket, but then the pet chickens ate them all.
