I really like this. Did you ever glue the fittings together?? I can see the
birds perching on the PVC and it falling out of the T and draining the
barrel. I have made a few designs of rain barrels and have them around the
property. Some of them there is no good way to keep mosquito’s out of. SO,
we add feeder goldfish in the spring. They eat the mosquito eggs laid on
the surface of the water. It works well.

that’s a great idea. I have meant to do the same on mine. I have other
watering needs right outside the coop that I could utilize the extra water
for. In fact I have a separate barrel that I intend to attach to this one
to double the capacity. I think I will put the hose bib on that overflow.
There will be a video of it when It’s complete.
