Yes!! Exactly the tip I was looking for. Had no idea. I don't have time tomorrow to go to the hardware store but I'll drop some pennies in. Thank you!!

I don't. Just trying to save some money. I can buy two float valves for $16 since I already have the bucket and waterers. I think the other thing is just a hose. I'll take some time when I get back to think on this.

I tried it this morning, the chicks actually started to catch on but I think the hens were already set in their ways. I switched it back to the water cups because I'm leaving tomorrow and didn't want them to get dehydrated. I'm thinking of giving them both options, one with the nipples in their...

I'm leaving for ten days and asked my brother to watch my chickens but he may not change their water. I've seen him let his dog's water bowl get pink so I'm hoping the water will be fine for that time I'm gone. I got them a 5 gallon bucket so they should have enough but it would be great if...
