We use the same things for show. Soda bottle with a fount. We tried the cups but they just get so messy and water goes all over their crests. The water bottle and fount keeps them nice and clean.My show Silkies always lived in 2x 2 Jap coops, so each had their own water bottle and feed cup.I can't imagine using a water CUP at a show ! Mine would have been a mess. I used small plastic pop bottles of my own water at the shows.
