I put this together last week and is working well. Holds 8+ gallons and I plan to use a birdbath heater over the winter.

Thinking about making an auto waterer for my chickens. What is better to use the nipples or the cups. I plan on hanging a 5 gallon bucket from the roof of my coop and placing a toilet valve with a float to keep bucket filled to desired level. Then either tap in the nipples beneath the bucket or install the cups around the bucket every 3 inches or so. Has anyone thought of this and tried it. What are your thoughts on this. I have this setup on my rabbit cages and it works flawlessly. Anytime they need antibiotics are vitamins just open the lid and pour and all get treated.
 
I prefer cups because the chickens can see water and have a nice source to drink from but both work pretty well. They are pretty much interchangeable other than the height.
