i might be looking for something that doesnt exist here but was wondering if anyone knew of a water feeder that had a hook to hang it? Our chickens just kick bark chippings and whatevers in there run into the water so it dries up and gets filthy really quickly. We have tried raising it on bricks but they still manage to get everything in it. We had this problem with the food, but hung the feeder from a tree in their enclosure and its worked perfectly. However the water dispensers are designed in the same way so attaching a hook would just mean the weight of the water would pull the lid off.
Help appreciated!

yep, they sell them at Storrs Poultry but any smallholding suppliers will also sell them ie Eyres at Brough or online at http://www.ascott.biz/acatalog/Poultry_Drinkers.html

i went to brough the other day and they didnt have them for water only food, il try storrs though as i get my feed there. the galvanised ones are megabucks i think.x

Ooooo that's a good idea. Mine do the same - their water is always mingin :gag:
