A small flock of black chickens with a coppery-necked rooster on guard.

Bent Farm: The Chicken Army

The army started very small. And it has really, really grown over the years. We started with 10 birds and our flock is sitting at over 150 birds these days.With that many birds, I'm looking for any possible way to make our lives easier, but also to save money wherever possible.

Using 3D Printing to Design the System

When creating this system, I wanted every part of it to be intentional. This includes the design for the enclosures. So I started using 3D printing early on to design my automated watering system.

Building the Station

The station is the heart of the automated watering system and will need to be robust enough to handle the readings it will receiving, store those readings, and allow users to configure the watering schedule and process from start to finish.
