The Pecker Bar by Maker's Farm

Build your own clean and efficient recirculating chicken watering system with The Pecker Bar DIY Digital Download from Makers Farm.

The Pecker Bar continuously circulates water through a closed poultry watering system, helping reduce stagnation while keeping dirt, bedding and droppings out of your flock’s drinking water. It provides chickens with cleaner water than traditional open bowls or pans and is designed to be frost-resistant when properly configured.

This step-by-step PDF guide shows backyard chicken keepers, homesteaders and small farms how to build a recirculating poultry waterer using either a 5-gallon bucket or a 55-gallon barrel. The finished system features a 48-inch watering bar with four poultry nipples and a 12-volt circulation pump.
