Feeder Cans

[CapeCod]

Got a couple 1 gallon paint cans from Home Depot for feeders.
What size hole do I poke and on which end ,,to make a syrup feeder.
Using chicken waterers now but thier a pain in the butt to refill because of the pebbles I used to keep the girls from drowning.

No bigger than 1/32".  Just use a small nail with a board behind it and try to barely poke a hole.

> and on which end

The lid.  Otherwise it will leak while you are filling it.

Quail waterers work better and require no pebbles.

18 guage frame nails make about the right sized holes.

I use 4d nails and just tap them enough to break the metal--if the 4 sided pyramid shape isn't there it went to far.  4 sided pyramid with slight air gap at the end.
