Cody I’m form Connecticut and I appreciate what you said and I would like to remind you that the Collins axe company was started in Connecticut and the old factory is right down the street from my house.
For my chicken waterer, I used a tap (as in tap and dye) to make the holes. I put my screw-in waterer off of a 1" diameter PVC. and I used silicone tape to help seal. No more dirty waterers!
Cody, you have such an amazing view there. We use those waterers for our chickens and they work great. Your assumption about the red color is right in line with what I've been told too. At our last house, I had the rain water collection system plumbed through the chicken coop with some 4" pvc (its what I had on hand) and several of those water nipples. Never had to worry about their water again
Cody When I made the comment about being offended about being from Connecticut and a “east coast guy” and not knowing how to use tools etc, I didn’t expect it to be weighing on your mind so much. Thank you for the shout out. It made my day hearing you mention me, especially since our church is closed. Thanks for brightening my Sunday morning.
Cody, you probably already have one of these in your tool collection... but if not, pick up a nice set of step drills. Also called uni-bits. For thin materials like sheet metal and plastic, they're perfect. They don't grab when they go through the material, and you'll get nicer holes because they don't have flutes like a normal drill bit. Plus, once you reach the size you want, with just a touch of pressure, the next 'step' will chamfer the hole and remove any swarf that's built up. Also a huge fan of the Gamma Seal lids. Stumbled on them a couple years back. I kinda coughed at the price, but man are they are worth it. And I don't think it's the color that makes chickens (and turkeys) peck at things. I think it's the 'difference' in colors. Most of the anti-pecking sprays I use when I have an issue with it, cover the infected area in the same color. So it sort of camouflages the wound, and the chickens cant tell the difference between the wound and the area around it. Of course, most of these sprays have a terrible taste for the peckers, so that helps as well. My grandfather raised a LOT of chickens.... (this was back in the 60's and 70's).... if he had a hen that had an open wound.... he would take a can of dark red spray paint and spray that area. Never failed to stop the pecking. I know that's not the best way to treat a wound, but I can't remember ever seeing one of his hens die from it. (No, I personally would not do this..... but he was from a much older generation) Lastly... for the missing drill bit issue....pick up a bulk drill bit set. They normally have about 250-300 drill bits in them, and they're not too expensive for what you get. I tend to break the smaller bits in my indexes. No issue, I just go grab one from the bulk set and replace the broken one in the index. Love the shot of Mt. Fuji.
I’m from Michigan we have the the most freshwater coasts! Beat that one. The large part down on the watering nozzles. Water will pond up in it, plus the shorter one up for beak clearance. Great view of the chicken palace and Mt.Hood.
I use about a dozen of these on a 55 gal plastic barrel. Lasts 30 chickens for a couple of weeks. The long tab goes on the bottom, and is what holds the water for the chickens to drink after they peck the valve open.
Suggest abrading each outdoor water bucket with fine steel wool and then painting blue with plastic rated spray paint. The sunlight, direct or otherwise being then 'blued' as coming through plastic bucket will stop green algae build up in the container. Since the bucket will be darker, shade it from direct sun exposure to keep water from getting too warm.
You should look at what Matt Carriker on Off the Ranch built for a watering system to use on his coop. He put rain gutters on his coop that drain into 50 gallon plastic barrels with overflow valves to the water doesn't back up to the gutters. The barrels then flowed into PVC pipes that has similar nipples for the chickens on it. Everything is gravity fed. Even in Texas he has never had them run dry.
You can attach a couple of elbows (one at the top and one at the bottom) with some clear tubing connecting them to the side of the bucket as a water level sight gauge. That way you wouldn't have to constantly unscrew the lid to check the water.
Oh no. Now I’m Connecticut man but I just heard I’m officially West Coast man. Haha. My son and I changed the oil on the dirt bikes and quads last night and we did it Western style! You would be proud!
I hope the chickens get the hang of drinking water with the new gadget. I just bought 8 2 gallon size white containers with the Gamma lids for the first time. It’s an easier way size to pick up for my daughter and myself. I think the hardest part of having chickens would be cleaning out the coop. Especially in the summer months when it’s hot and smelly 👍
So I’ve used these for two years now at my home. A blue Lowe’s bucket and those chicken nipples for my birds. I can’t tell u how often I clean a traditional waterer compared to the Lowe’s bucket waterer. It’s night and day. And all I do to keep from any vacuum being created is crack the lid. The chickens always learn how to get the water out. None ever die. I raise commercial broilers on pasture as a side business.
5 gallons for 15 chickens will be about 2-3 days of water. If you want a good feeder, use a trashcan. I prefer the squared off big ones. Cut hols to put 45 degree PVC angles in them and glue them flat to the outside with the PVC going in the can. I used 4in PVC for this. After it sets, fill the can with 100lbs of feed and you are set for a few weeks if you are also free ranging them.
The Off the Ranch video is at: ua-cam.com/video/MaPzB2uX-P4/v-deo.html There is some intro material but the chicken watering system starts at about 2:30min
Lol based Connecticut man. Glad to see you're still doing well Cody, hope to run into you at a convention sometime. Be well, be healthy and all the best to you and your family.
Hey buy some automatic fillers use for horses and have it so it will always be full no matter what kinda like how the valve in a toilet filler work and buy it in brass to btw love the channel and I'm 15
@@martinw4261 I'm a third gen boiler farmer (we shut down our houses years ago now). These drinker lines are on aluminum racks with pvc pipes spanning the aluminum. The drinker nipples are built into the pvc which is pressurized, and since they're indoors they won't freeze. Now using something like this in a coupe is a different story. I imagine if you have a decent coupe the lines won't freeze but I also live in the south and we don't get deep freeze winters here.
We have a couple of buckets a little bigger than those that have the same lid and we filled some with long lasting food, others with first aid supplies and survival equipment. We buried them in different areas around town in different parks and under bridges and after marking where they are on a map and on gps we left them for emergency caches later on when needed.
So now apparently according to this i am now a misplaced southern, west coast yankee. Thanks Cody loving the videos you been putting out. From Hartford, CT with a 4 year stint in the great place Fort Hood, TX.
Hey Cody you should look at Off the Ranch, Demo Ranch guy Matt, set up his chicken coop with rain gutters to collect water and store water for the chickens.
Yeah, I wondered about a vent hole also but I was thinking the longer lip might do better on the bottom. Once they peck and dispense water it may (I am not for sure) pool a drop or two on the lip so the chickens will play around with the drop trying to drink, hit the plunger, dispense more water, learn pretty quickly. Just a guess.
Hey there is a East Coast guy 😉, Seth Johnson who did a video on Land to house who demonstrates filling a bucket with the same chicken watering nipples from his ram pump. There is a float value installed that keeps the bucket filled. You should give that a look.
As a California son who after living in multiple places in California, Massachusetts, and Connecticut chose to make Connecticut the home for my family I appreciate the acceptance. If you want to see another application of these chicken watering devices check out off the ranch, Matt setup a nice watering solution.
I have five chickens and one of those commercial 5 qt water cans . In the summer they easily consume (or knock it around) it to the point that I have to fill it every day. At five gallons, you have four times the water for three times the birds. However, i suspect the nipple system will be more efficient than my gravity fed dispenser, that they tend to knock around. You're also a couple mile east of me(read warmer summers). I think you can get by with two days needing to refill.
For my drill bits. I keep a few working sets, like what you got. But I also have a huge 250 drill bit set that I use to restock the smaller drill bit sets. This way I don’t have that issue any more where you grab the drill bit set and 1/3 or 1/2 is gone.
As a Connecticut man I will gladly accept the honorary West Coast title on behalf of my fellow Connecticuters, we may always be East Coast men but we have abit of West Coast spirit in our hearts. Have a blessed day Cody, from our family to yours. -Matt
The return of the Pennsylvania man is occurring. My generation is channelling our grandfathers and great grandfathers. I miss my grandfather and his stories of the parties in the fields where everyone had way too much fun and spent days sobering up in the fields. I always thought they were fake until I realized the value of experience. The story, right, wrong or embellished were far more valuable than anything produced. I arrived with nothing, will leave with nothing. My stories may live on if they are unbelievable enough 🤣
Mt Fuji is looking Majestic today! Are you going to keep the chickens over the winter? Are you concerned about predators? I heard that if you add one Goose to the flock of chickens it would protect the chickens...? Enjoy the eggs! Cheers from Tokyo!
L2FlyMN maybe a solar water heater on the roof top of the coop and a small recirculating pump run by a normal solar bank, and perhaps a very small windmill. Also gives the option of adding an outlet/lights. With that, you could add a wifi repeater and put a web cam inside + wireless thermometer/weather station the henhouse to check for eggs/food levels without trudging through muck or snow. 🤷🏻♂️🇺🇸 (Plus a external day/night security camera on a pole so that Cody can inspect that entire area --foxes-- from his bedroom tablet/laptop to see what the bump n the night is about. Maybe even put jack on the task of being the chicken guardian.) #MOTIONSENSINGLEDFLOODLIGHTS
I noticed the "Cross Brace" on the gate to your chicken coop seems to be installed backward. A cross brace should be installed to provide support under "Compression" (Towards the hinge side). Great vid, by the way.
You putting on any weight after cutting out 10,000 steps due to your new toy? (Earnest question. Convenience often comes at the cost of our health). Great video, love how you're always improving something.
What you just described with the drillbits is why I don't let any of the other guys at work use my stuff. At least if I forget to put it back in the case its still in MY bag, not who know's where.
You can run a small tube out of your lid and turn it down. Then silicone around the tube. This will vent your bucket without letting in unwanted things.
the long ear is there as a foot when you install on the floor of the vessel. Some people hang the waterer to use more water and prevent the waterer being knocked over.
I wish we could live like that with your mountain background, man that is beautiful! As a farmers son now stuck living in an apartment in Stockholm I'm suffering. Can you tell Trump I'm a fan of him, he is on the right track I believe, and that he will let us get a homestead over there :-) God bless you all! (By the way we could help you work on your swedish.) :-)
I was feeling really down on myself, every time I was reminded that I live on the east coast. Until, just now, I realized that I live in South WEST Dade County, Florida. I've been to Montana enough to be able to pretend I live there. Wink, wink.... We love your videos. God bless you and your family.
congrats Connecticut on officially joining the west coast! what an improvement! but keep in mind, east or west, you guys ain't got nothin over us MID COAST guys! #greatlakes #lakemichigan
Connecticut man, please collect your man purse at the customer service desk... ;) You always have to have some sort of sealant on NPT threads. They rely on the viscosity of the fluid to seal, so you have to make the gaps between the threads as small as possible to prevent leaks. There is a specific Loctite plastic thread sealant available, or you could just use some PST.
Perfect timing! We need to build our watering system this week or so to prepare for moving the chickens out of the brooder into their new coop and run in the garden. Great to see it is recommended by Owen Wortz on a commercial chicken ranch.
At 8:38 in the video, I started to yell at my phone...... No your going to have a huge mess! Damn pause button got me again! I'll show myself back out side and continue fencing.
There are many, many claims that also adding some apple cider vinegar (ACV) into the drinking water is very beneficial for the chickens’ health - I believe the rate is something like 10ml ACV/1L water.
Wranglerstar, look into a gravity fed auto waterer. I personally plumbed a 5 gallon bucket to fit my water supply infeed and outfeed to the water nipples. The key element is a toilet bowl plunger assembly that regulates flow just like it does for a toilet. Virtually a completely hands off water system.
Add a little bit of Apple Sider Vinegar to the water for them!!!! Normally the nipples go on the bottom of the bucket but your setup will do the job!!!!
I am a east coast man Pennsylvania (the keystone state) and proud of it. Pennsylvania is the state that built this country with out us you west coasters would have never existed. But seriously I am happy you are proud of where you live and I take no offense in your jokes as a matter of fact I get a laugh from them. I am also proud of where I live but I am not proud of all the people that live in this great state. People making a career out of government assistance have really hurt this great state and it’s beautiful history is almost forgotten.
OffTheRanch set up his coop to catch rain water use that for the chickens. He went a bit elaborate with two 50 gallon drums. I don't think he has watered his chickens for a few years. I wonder if you set up gutters on your coop if you could have that feed a 5 gallon bucket or two.
You should check into a water bill that hooks up to a frost free hydrant. That many birds will drink that water down in a day and even less in the hottest parts of the summer. The water bill you can leave turned on for half the year and you never have to worry about giving them water and it stays clean. Then you only have to put out a bucket of water for themEvery day during the winter.
The backdrop behind the chickens is amazing !
The ole 940 made another cameo!
Caught my eye too. Gave me the fizz

“Drill bits are expendable.” Is what I always tell myself to feel better every time I have to buy a new set
"That seems a little small." Said every West Coast wife ever!

I’ve been checking UA-cam 5 times a day+ for a new wranglerstar video and somehow missed this one
Here in Texas it's called wallering it out with the drill bit.
Here in Alabama too :)
In the trades we call it "embigoning it"
@@brotherlove100 Nebraska talk as well. Embiggening...
Hogging it out in California
Yep, that's what most say here in Georgia too.
He is always joking about East Coast Man vs West Coast man. While us Southerners are snickering about both. ;-)
And the in the heart of it all the guys from Midwest laugh at everyone. Though we are a bit Southern too.

We use these on our chickens, they love them. I have them on 5gal buckets and 1-1/4 pvc
Hi Cody, love your show. Silicone doesn't stick to plastic. It sticks well to metals, and glass, sometimes wood but not plastic.
Back to the Benchmade I see.

How's all the processing shut downs effecting you guys?
Do these work in winter? If you keep the water from freezing will the spigots freeze anyways?

It was so funny. As soon as you filled it up, you focused on the drip drip of the 3/8 hole.
We used a red laser dot, they would chase it around like crazy, so we just pointed it at the little spouts and they learned real quick.
As a Connecticut man who has always wanted to be a West Coast man, thank you. You just saved me a whole bunch money on moving expenses.

I too went astray from by beloved 940 (purchased largely because of your recommendation) for a spiderco (yojimbo 2). But alas the prodigals return.
Can you show an update on all the trees you planted years ago? It would be nice to see how they are doing. Thank you and God bless.

We have Guinea fowl although there a little noisy.
Hello Tokyo! 😎👍
As long as you don't put that bucket over a wooden coop floor, you'll be ok.
Over winter though, you'll need an electric deicing system.
L2FlyMN maybe a solar water heater on the roof top of the coop and a small recirculating pump run by a normal solar bank, and perhaps a very small windmill. Also gives the option of adding an outlet/lights.
With that, you could add a wifi repeater and put a web cam inside + wireless thermometer/weather station the henhouse to check for eggs/food levels without trudging through muck or snow. 🤷🏻♂️🇺🇸
(Plus a external day/night security camera on a pole so that Cody can inspect that entire area --foxes-- from his bedroom tablet/laptop to see what the bump n the night is about. Maybe even put jack on the task of being the chicken guardian.)

Your videos keep getting better & better.
Thank you, getting into chickens soon and was looking into watering because they are very dirt.
There are many, many claims that also adding some apple cider vinegar (ACV) into the drinking water is very beneficial for the chickens’ health - I believe the rate is something like 10ml ACV/1L water.
A bucket with gamma lids is how we store all our flour, sugar, rice, etc. They work great.
Wranglerstar, look into a gravity fed auto waterer.
I personally plumbed a 5 gallon bucket to fit my water supply infeed and outfeed to the water nipples. The key element is a toilet bowl plunger assembly that regulates flow just like it does for a toilet. Virtually a completely hands off water system.
Add a little bit of Apple Sider Vinegar to the water for them!!!! Normally the nipples go on the bottom of the bucket but your setup will do the job!!!!
Nice to see the 940 is out!
I am a east coast man Pennsylvania (the keystone state) and proud of it. Pennsylvania is the state that built this country with out us you west coasters would have never existed. But seriously I am happy you are proud of where you live and I take no offense in your jokes as a matter of fact I get a laugh from them. I am also proud of where I live but I am not proud of all the people that live in this great state. People making a career out of government assistance have really hurt this great state and it’s beautiful history is almost forgotten.
Glad to see the 940 made it back into your pocket
As a lifelong resident of Connecticut, I accept this honorary title. We have lived in the shadow of New York and Massachusetts for too long.

As a native born Connecticut man I approve. Connecticut produces or produced many nice products. We also have many gun manufacturers.
Love the gamma seal lids
Great video Cody!!! The prodigal son has returned....Welcome back Mr. Benchmade. 😀
Yes I’m a west coast man now
Me too!
I use 7.2 and 5 gallon buckets for making wine, they would work.
OffTheRanch set up his coop to catch rain water use that for the chickens. He went a bit elaborate with two 50 gallon drums. I don't think he has watered his chickens for a few years. I wonder if you set up gutters on your coop if you could have that feed a 5 gallon bucket or two.
so good to see the 940
Back in action “melts away in the pocket” lol
Where is the Spyderco? Glad to see you using a "real" knife again, the Benchmade 940
You should check into a water bill that hooks up to a frost free hydrant. That many birds will drink that water down in a day and even less in the hottest parts of the summer. The water bill you can leave turned on for half the year and you never have to worry about giving them water and it stays clean. Then you only have to put out a bucket of water for themEvery day during the winter.
