I tried making the water pail that would hang like the feeders. I found as my hens like to jump and sit on things they would dump the water out more frequently. maybe why they dont make them to hang?

@tone2joke I installed a chain on the other end of the house to hang the waterer as well. I, like you, found out the hard way that it wouldn't work.

good job on the video, I have enjoyed, and learned a lot of good information from your videos

@mhdd1234 Thank You I'll try to keep making them as soon as I get caught up around here.

Thank you for this video, it inspired me to build one for myself.

@scrounger69 Wonderful. The only reason that I do these is to help others. The only reason that I keep on doing it is when people like you confirm that I am helping someone.

@fancyangel21 When my chickens go to roost some face forward and some face backwards. So plan on making the roosts far enough apart so that backward chickens don't poop on the chickens below them. Also do not put the roost close to the wall. Chickens that are too close to the wall will break all of thier tail feathers while they are sleeping if they are too close to the wall. As far as position relative to the nest boxes or any other chicken furniture, none of that matters.

Thank you for this video. We are just finishing our chicken coop building. Was wondering if it mattered about the roost position? higher than nest boxes?? should the roost or boxes face a certain way?
