Chicken coop questions: waterer and mosquito control

Posted by Randall Savauge on 3/22/26 at 10:56 am

Good morning fellow h&gb baws.

Wanted to see if yall had any recs for a non-automatic watering system. I currently use a 5gal bucket with the tips they peck and get water. Problem is I’m starting to have leaks and run out of water quickly. I don’t have water run to my coop/run yet so it’s a manual filling system by me. Have any better systems I should look at? Will probably switch to two buckets because I’m up to 15 birds and as it heats up, they will go through a lot of water, even without leaks.

Secondly, there seem to be a lot of mosquitoes in my coop when I open it in the morning. Any recs to control that? Either repellant or eradication. I air it out during the day but it’s currently closed up tight at night. Removing some panels today since the cold is over to help with air flow.

Thanks!

Only if I can give this info to another prisoner that was wrongly imprisoned with me to protect a local magistrate’s dad who is sympathetic to a potential emperor returning to reclaim his throne. Then he escapes after I die helping him dig a tunnel out. He then becomes a pirate then earns his freedom and makes his way to the treasure and uses it to exact a painstakingly detailed revenge plot on his accusers. Along the way he may or may not discover that his fiancé married one of the conspirators after the was told he was dead. Upon exacting the final revenge, he realizes that the son of the final conspirator is actually his and that his fiancé married to protect the child. He finishes his revenge plan and goes on to live a life of luxury with his fiancé and son.

A barrel of crawfish costs way more than a barrel of oil.

Better yet, rent a small uhaul enclosed trailer for $40. And also bring some folding tables. That way you can have two levels of plants.

not sure exactly what that means. i can confirm that mine is flex piped in from pipes underground that snake down from my attic, so lots of 90's.

i don't see anything from generac regarding a "straight run"
