EXAMPLE
– Generally, if you purchase a 3kg green and white feeder, and you wish to
purchase a drinker at the same time, you would purchase either the 4ltr green
and white drinker, or the 6ltr red drinker.
Alternatively, if you purchased the 5kg green and white feeder, and
you wished to purchase a drinker at the same time, you would generally
purchase the 8ltr green and white drinker (size permitting in your
coop). The 30ltr tripod drinker is a
great asset to a chicken keeper who has numerous birds, and who likes to
ensure their birds never run out of water (especially in the hot summer
months). |
