I am starting to brainstorm ideas for what to do when we go on vacation. Is it possible to make a waterer out of a 5 gallon bucket? any ideas?

Click on my website I have a video of them with my kids. They are 6 months old. I was told they are easter eggers and black stars. 2 brown layers 1 green layer 1 light tan layer
