Terry makes a chicken waterer














Recently, on the corner, Terry was teaching how to make a chicken waterer from large plastic water bottles. He used a large 12 liter bottle for the bottom, cutting the top off and making a tray to hold the water and a smaller 6 liter for the water storage. You put a few holes in the top bottle and it lets the water fall down into the bottom tray until it is filled, then the chickens can drink from the bottom tray. It keeps the chickens out of the water and keeps the water cleaner.

One of our peace corp volunteers was here last week getting some roosters for his project in a village and they made the waterer. This is something Terry learned as a young boy at his grandparents farm.
