This project addressed some of the issues associated with watering systems for small chicken operations in New England. Interviews with New England extension agents and local farms, as well as a review of scholarly literature, extension websites, and other farming resources, highlighted both the importance of plentiful and quality water for the health and productivity of a flock, as well as the issues associated with maintaining a watering system. Our system reduces the labor associated with maintaining a watering system, while ensuring a plentiful and high-quality supply of water for a flock. The reduction in labor and water quality improvements that our system provides can help improve the productivity and profitability of small chicken operations in New England.
