TAJ Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I have 'gone large' for when we are away. The new water container (red & white) is fantastic it hold 18 litres, it is slightly more complex than the normal upside down containers in that it has a valve, but for its volume it takes up little more space than the 4 litre one that use to stand in this corner. It is a new line from flytesofancy and can be hung, if you have something that will stand the weight of so much water. http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii49/TAJchicks/IMG_2371.jpg You could probably see in the last photo as well, in the middle of the run, hanging from the central support bar from a new S hook (another new stock item, but sold for hanging the bordem ring) is a 6 kg feeder and as it is in the middle no rain can get to it from any angle. http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii49/TAJchicks/IMG_2372.jpg Oh and the 'soap-on-a-rope' thing is the trial replacement for peckablocks - supposed to last longer, so I had to try one didn't I even though I still had a box of 10 peackablocks left For those that have seen my intros thread will understand why there is no room for chickens due to the number of food & water stations at present!

Redwing Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 That water container is great, most of them can't be filled from the top so that one is I also have a soap on a rope, it seems to be going down well so far and has lasted a week with only a few dents!

Janty Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I like the idea of a water container that can be filled from the top too. Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I like the idea of a water container that can be filled from the top too. Looks great. I agree, I hate my water container that fills from the bottom, although I only have that as an additional drinker in the garden just incase they are thirsty when freeranging.

quickcluck Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hmmmmmm 'soap on a rope' looks cool...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I like that drinker Tracy. I've seen those soap on a rope peckers too and will get one at the weekend - there are also some big, solid pecker balls which look like they will last for years.

It's here: http://www.flytesofancy.co.uk/chickenhouses/Large_Plastic_Poultry_Drinker_18_litre.html £22.49 - which I think is really cheap for an 18litre and it is pretty sturdy.
