    EBAY- "Custom made automatic chicken waterer"

    This is the most brilliant idea overall I've found! A 5 gallon bucket with lid, holes on sides for the chicken heads to fit through with a plumbing float inside that keeps the water fresh just below the holes. Very sturdy, especially when placed on a couple cinder blocks to raise it off the...
