This is so helpful! I’m about to get some meat rabbits and I wanted to find a good system for efficient watering and collecting droppings. This is awesome!
You’re a genius! I’ve hung 5 KW cages from the roof of my chicken run. Shade, ventilation on 4 sides and serious predator protection - it was a good start. Way too much cage movement tho - so I zip-tied the back of cages to the hardware cloth wall of the chicken run. Zip ties break rather frequently! I’ve been racking my 3 brain cells to find a better solution. I’m rather in love with what you’ve done here! You’ve got an engineer brain. I do NOT🤣 Wondering if I can screw a horizontal piece of metal across the chicken run supports. My idea is to be able to remove the cages once or twice a year to hose’ em down. Then return by “hooking” them onto something in the back and clicking the front back onto the chains. I’ve got a lot of rabbit fur that stuck to the hardware cloth behind the cages…ew. Must do mntc cleaning. LOVE your manure collection. What kind of bins are those? They are not very deep and appear to be manageable for my teeny hands and old-lady strength. Thank you for this video - I appreciate the ideas you’ve given me today.

Great video! Thank You for sharing.
Glad I could help.
This is great. is there a hole in the poop bin to drain the pee into the gutter?
Yeah I have a slit in the back, about 3 inches by 1 inch and I use 1/4" hardware cloth over top of that.
Do you have a link to the cages?
Yeah. It's in the description
