In the easy DIY section of the huertina we are going to discover how simple it is to be able to make a drinking fountain for our pets or animals, in my case for the portable chicken coop that we made of pallets and thus be able to use it with the homemade feeder that we made, with little money we can have all the infrastructure to have our chickens or pets well cared for.
One important thing that we must know about caring for chickens and animals in general is that they should never lack water, it is essential that if we are going to have animals and we are not going to be able to attend to them daily, we must worry about their source or their access to water be a priority for us.
Some time ago, when I began to be interested in having chickens, a friend who was an expert on the subject told me something that I will never forget: that water is almost more important for chickens than food, and that the drinker must always be clean, otherwise they They are very young and do not drink.
In the video that I leave you here below we are going to see how we can make a homemade drinking fountain in the simplest way possible but at the same time functional. The model follows a bit the physical principles of commercial drinking fountains but with the difference that it is free for us to do it and with recycled elements such as a 5L water bottle that we can take in the garbage and with a smaller 1L bottle or a tetra brick. (things that we can find in the trash like I did).
I won’t entertain you anymore and I’ll leave you with the video, where I show you how to assemble it and also how it works, so you can see that it’s not magic! If you are going to have chickens or you are just going to go on a trip, it is always interesting to know how to make a homemade drinker for any emergency.
