Steve, I tried to put a pic. on but no luck. For my 7 chicken, I put a pallet waist high on legs. They have no problem jumping up and getting their water. The pallet stays mostly clean & easily maintenanced. The watering dish stays mostly clean.
I have tried different watering methods. Now I have a platform (slatted) That I put the watering dish on & they fly up to it. Now they can't make a mess.
