what height should a 5 gal. bucket waterer be hung? DH made me a waterer with nipples in the bottom for the chickens to drink from outside in the run....how high up should the bottom of the bucket be? in inches? Maybe it's just gonna be trial and error? Thanks for any help
 
What height is your old waterer. I usually have mine about 6 inches off the ground.
 
With a nipple waterer, the chickens should be able to stand under it and reach a little to drink comfortably. I suspended my bucket with a chain so I could raise it as the chicks grew and we're at 24" now (April hatch so they're pretty much full grown).
