    Pretty ingenious. Don’t forget about some kind of filter before it goes through that pump. All kinds of debris is coming off that roof. You can see it in the rain barrel.

    You may want to put some mesh over your gutter. Leaves, bugs, and other debris will get into your barrel and clog your pump or decay and make your water stagnant.
    Otherwise, looks good!

      He needs a copper pipe in the soil and a copper wire into the water that will have a copper rod lying on the bottom. Everything has to be grounded and you get the world's best eggs and the chickens get properly balanced and charged drinking water. He shold do the same for himrself :) -The water mustbe in constant motion/circulation like he is doing. This is awesome

  • @ash.lynn17
    @ash.lynn17 9 месяцев назад +48

    PSA: Chickens aren't humans. Animals don't have the same needs as humans. It's perfectly safe for chickens to drink non filtered water. Free range chickens drink out of the nastiest puddles they can find and they are perfectly healthy. In fact, the microbiome in their guts are probably stronger because of it. Calm down about the lack of a filter. I would suggest a screen though, just so the system doesn't get clogged.

    • @cliftonblaine2532
      @cliftonblaine2532 5 месяцев назад +16

      I think most people worried about a filter are thinking of the long term implications of debris continually falling in and clogging the pump/pins.
      It’s something to make the automated system easier to use long term.

      I've had this system for almost a year now, these barrels provide darkness but not completely - so algae still happens. I have 2 solutions I'm going to try:
      1. Hang a 24" copper pipe in the 50 gallon drum as it's antimicrobial and see.
      2. If copper pipe doesn't work, I'm going to do what the large farms do and add chlorine to my water like they have in the city tap water.
