I saw many people making water bucket with nipples. But my concern was that those buckets where not food grade. So, if It's not good for humans, why would it be good for chickens? And are we not eating their eggs? So, I was looking for a plastic bucket that would be food grade and BPA free.
I found that plastic bucket I was looking for, in Lowe's hardware store. It is food grade, BPA free and very sturdy. You can also get 2 different cover for it. Food grade is good for humans, so it is safe for chickens and safer than regular bucket. Excellent for waterer. And it's just $1 more than regular bucket. The lid is very strong. I use a rubber mallet to close it. I used it to create my horizontal nipple waterer yesterday and it worked great. Chickens love it a lot.
I hope it help someone.
Here is where to find it.
