Tired of feeding and watering chickens every day? An automatic feeder and waterer will minimize this process. The device allows you to automate the process of caring for birds. You can buy the device at a specialized store or make it yourself. It will take a little time, skill and plastic bottles. You can pour any bulk food into the food bowl, and clean water into the drinking tray.
Required:
- 4 plastic bottles of 19 liters each;
- 2 covers;
- drill.
Making an automatic drinker and an automatic feeder:
Using a drill and a hole saw, drill 4 holes of the same size in the center of the two bottles.

Using a sharp utility knife, cut out rounds in 2 lids.
Pour grain into the first container, pour water into the second and close them.
Place the prepared, cut-off trays with holes in the bird feeding area. Place the filled containers from top to bottom, with lids down.
As the chickens drink the liquid, it will automatically pour into the bottom. The same thing happens with grains. This simple method significantly saves the poultry farmer’s time.
