Maggies chickens
In the Brooder
Does anyone know of any good metal chicken waterers that won’t rust. I’ve used the same type of metal chicken water every year for like the past six years, and I’m tired of having to replace it due to the rust.

I was looking for something that the sparrows couldn’t drink out of that wouldn’t rust and could still be on a heater.
How did you train them to use it?Welcome to BYC.
You might want to try a horizontal nipple waterer.
There are a number of heated bases that are safe for plastic waterers -- which lets you make your own waterer by buying the nipples (I use these: https://www.amazon.com/RentACoop-Pack-Make-Your-Waterer/dp/B07DVSL74D/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1W8GH3QG6GZPK&keywords=horizontal+nipples+chicken&qid=1641064690&sprefix=horizontal+ni,aps,553&sr=8-2), and using your own bucket.
Or you can buy one ready to use: https://www.premier1supplies.com/p/heated-poultry-waterer?cat_id=141
I didn't find it difficult to train the chickens to use the nipples.
