I'm going to clamp a piece of 1 x 2" mesh wire on one end and have it dipping down into the water a bit. That should help any varmints or turkey poults that fall in and give birds something to perch on.

Our trough by the cabin is kinda high and has a grate over the float. I took 2 pieces of cut off t pole and wired them to the grate with the ends resting on the side of the trough. The birds use them to get a drink or splash water on themselves. During the heat of the day it is non stop visitors. Also helps anything that might fall in.

Do I need to put a piece of cage wire - or something similar - across one end to make a perch? Would that even help? TIA

They don't mind drinking out of ours like that.
