The ibc tote is filled by rain water from the gutter. This is piped to the chicken waterers. Inside the waterer is a mini toilet float. That keeps the waterer full. Pic below.
There is an automatic door that opens and closes based on the amount of light outside so it self adjusts for the seasons. The chickens let themselves out in the morning and go in at night.
Now with the barrel acting as a massive hopper for the feeder I can put more than a months worth of feed in the barrel. All I have to do is pick up eggs every couple of days. Based on the temperature outside the eggs can sit for a little while.
