What happens here

The presenter demonstrates the proper placement of a 5-gallon poultry waterer, noting that 50 birds can drink a full 5-gallon waterer per day, especially in hot weather (low to mid-90s Fahrenheit). A critical tip for placing these waterers on sloped or uneven ground is to ensure the water spout (the opening that fills the tray) is oriented towards the *downhill* side. If the spout faces uphill, water will continuously flow out and drain, emptying the waterer and leaving the chickens without water. Correct orientation prevents waste and ensures the water level is consistently maintained.

Goal: Learn the critical technique for positioning poultry waterers on uneven ground to prevent water loss and ensure constant availability for the chickens.

job done now basically this is a five gallon water pail these fifty or so birds have been drinking this entire water pail per day now the temperatures have been in the low 90s here and they're actually going to get up to like 95 today so we're gonna fill this water and another small water one thing you need to know is if you're on an incline if you're moving birds like this always keep this little spout down the hill so if it's facing down the hill ever so slightly and sometimes we just hang it up in here but it's so heavy it won't stay right now if it's facing down the hill that causes the water to stop if it's facing up the hill it'll just keep running and run all the way out so if you've got to go to work and you fill this up in the morning you come back your birds might be dead because of a dumb mistake that you've made so pay attention to that
