 All we had to purchase were a few more of the end caps and everything else was on site already.

 2x4 was used as support to keep it from rocking and turning over. Thanks to Wormey and Reba for their hard work and hands.

| If you use them as waters and you have broilers you may want to put rocks in the bottom of the gutters. Don't know why the broilers refused to drink out of the gutters before we added rocks to the bottom.

That is a great idea. And you can even hang them up off a wall so who ever it's for cannot play in it.
Might try this for my chickens feed and maybe for extra waterer as well

| Another good idea: mount on the coops wall and run a length of downspout to it from the gutters you have hanging from on the coop. Turns it into a self-watering trough during rains. It would also flush out any old standing water/algae etc. I have gutters up on most of my sheds and barrels underneath to catch the water, which I then use to water my animals. If you live with a dug well, as I do, anything to conserve water is essential. When my well runs dry, as it does every year, I have to pay to have water pumped into it, so I try not to use that water for my animals.
