If you have decided that you’re going to raise chickens in your yard the following year, then you’re going to need a lot of info to prepare in time. Raising chickens at home is not an easy work, as animals require constant care and attention. But don’t worry, as you can take it step by step and start with building the coop and maintaining it. If you’ve already found a great homemade coop project, then you can proceed to creating a watering station for your chicks. In the following we will show you 10 very clever chicken water station ideas, so you’ll never have to worry about your chicks being thirsty or drinking contaminated water from an unsafe source. The best thing each project has in common is their low price as each and every project below is based on recycled and cheap materials, so you won’t have to spend a fortune building the watering station.
