We use a five-gallon Home Depot bucket with nipples and something like these screw top lids. We used two of these in a frame we built out of 2x4s.
I've heard that the rule of thumb is "don't give your chickens water you wouldn't drink", although that might be for bees. (I'm a beekeeper too.)
You'll want to clean these out with Dawn fairly often, don't neglect the cleanliness state of these buckets.
