I have kept chickens for almost 20 years now and have quite an accumulation ( hoard ) of old poultry stuff . The old waterers are rusting out and leak so I have re-cycled them. (Yeah...that's the word ! )
Right now the tops of the waterers are keeping the fence posts dry , but I have a better use for them later. Um, well, I keep telling my husband that anyway.
I have filled the bottoms of the waterers with plants, placed them on old benches around a comfortable Adirondack chair , along-side a table and there ya go ! I now have a lovely place to sip my morning coffee or tea while I watch my chickens. Hey....don't laugh, chickens are fun to watch !
My dogs agree, so there !
I am just hanging out with the chickens ...and the dogs. Happy moments for sure.

What a great way to enjoy your cup of coffee!
I love the "recycled" planters. Your dogs are all adorable.
Have a nice weekend.
Looks like fun to me and an exemplary effort at recycling. I can see you're making the most of your summer.
This post makes me smile! It warms my heart.

Looks like a lovely spot to watch them from, and your dogs will be good company while you do it! :-) Your dogs are all beautiful animals.
I'm not laughing - we just got chickens for the first time and one of my favorite things to do is sit and watch them. In fact, I just told my husband this week that we need a pair of adirondack chairs by the chicken run. :-D Have a lovely day!
As a chicken farmer, I love your decorations. :) And I believe all chickens would, too! :)
You're in good company there in your Adirondack chair! We don't have any chickens right now, while we have Pondside on the market, but I certainly have a collection of old Poultry feeders. I really like your idea and may use it around the chicken coop, which is looking like a sad and lonely place.
and what a nice place you have to hang out with the chicks! grins.

That's a lovely post Kathy. I kept chickens for ten years until their house disintegrated and the last one died. Very sad to see them go and I would love to get some more. I would also like a dog but must be content with a cat just now (sigh). Love to enjoy yours though. Please keep posting.
Well if the dog is happy and the coffee is good, then who can argue!

Hanging out with the chickens and dogs sounds wonderful. Your dogs look like special friends.
