thanks VG….i worked out that the standard/commerical/plastic waterer works ok if placed upon several bricks etc..so the chickens scratching around doesn’t foul the water. i.e. about a foot off the ground.

that’s pretty much the design i copied for my duck feeder. it can hold 2 large bags of feed. just need to modify the lip a little on it so the ducks don’t spill so much grain.
