    Default Chicken Watering System?

    I know there have been several great systems posted.

    I’m looking to install one on my coup and can’t decide on what I want.

    I have a hose bib next to the coup already so I can “force feed” it rather than use a gravity system.

    My concern is freezing and what is best to be as least amount of attention or work.

    My current worker is close to being out on maternity leave so I’m trying to automate my process as much as possible
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    Cup system and a regulator. Nothing will be freeze proof. I'd just get a 5 gal waterer and change it out once a week.

    Galvanized tractor supply water sitting in a low wide terra cotta pot with a low watt bulb under on freezing nights.

    I was wondering if I should use pex or go pvc?

    I was thinking insulation or our gaps even a miniature cubby hole to run the main run all
    The way down so it can be insulated?

    Pex will have less tendency to crack if the water freezes.
