Can I see a picture of your waterer?

My husband just finished this watering system for me and my chickens. They stayed away for about 10 seconds, then one went over and pecked at it and that was that. They all started checking it out and now they all drink from it. I got the chicken nipples, then just made this out of a 5 gal bucket, some pvc fittings, pvc pipe and a piece of hose.

Hook up to water supply and forget it... rinse out occasionally

Toad proofing... very important

LOVE this! I'm definitely going to give this a shot! About how tall is the piece of pvc and how high from the ground are the holes? Thanks!!!

I can't take any credit for the idea, I found it here and just passed it on. Glad to see the amount of info being freely shared here. It's all about happy chickens!

Hi from Ga.

I have a gravity system with a 15 gal. tank. It will work just as well with a 5 gal. bucket.

i love mine, it's identical to this...except i have an 11 litre bottle, have to fill it more often but approx. 1xweek, n im out there anyways and likely appreciate the fresh water. the 11L vs the 18L makes it soooo much easier to turn over and i have nowhere to hand anyways..
