100% serious... during a major heat wave this summer I was on the verge of setting up special nipple waterers along their favorite perch at head level, 1 per chicken.
My inevitable laziness forced me to settle by hanging an old water bottle...
Honastly I've never heard of chickens that get up in the middle of the night to drink. My chickens sleep through the night. They don't get off their roost for hardly anything SO. You'll be perfectly fine with taking the waterer out during the night.
