We have to go away for about nine days last minute. We’re leaving on Monday. We have nine chickens. I have two 15 L buckets with horizontal nipple waterers in the chicken run/coop. I also have a 20 L gravity fed waterer like the picture below. We have a rain barrel that captures rainwater right next to the coop.
I’ve been googling and googling But I can’t find what I’m looking for. Is there anyway (because physics just isn’t my thing and I know I’ll mess it up) to run a hose or pipe from the rain barrel to the gravity fed waterer so that it fills up as needed?
50l water should Of course to be enough for nine chickens but I am paranoid, and we have no one who can come and watch daily- only two or three times while we’re gone, and I worry that something will happen. It seems like my chickens are always doing crazy things and causing trouble and getting into mischief. Thanks!
