We started with one of these for the keets:

and then I made a 5gal bucket when they were about 3 weeks old using these (due largely to the same issue, they were kicking pine chips into it and pooping in it):

and they seemed to figure it out soon enough... I figure if they get thirsty enough, they'll do anything to find water. So far, so good.
If you do use the watering cups and a bucket, make sure you add a small hole in the top or side, or leave your lid popped just a little, otherwise you'll create a vacuum and the water won't flow. Ask me how I know
I have a few videos where I talk about it on my YouTube channel, if you are interested. Hope this helps!
I watched a few of y'alls videos and you have a great set-up. I really like it! Showed it to my husband and if decide to grow our flock, that's probably what we'll do. Thanks for sharing!
