We are in the process of building our chicken run...our 4 girls are 4 weeks old today and getting anxious to get outside!
We are lucky enough to have a hose bib inside the run area, and was wondering if anyone used something like this:

Our dogs have this outdoors, and it makes life soooo much easier. Would an identical product work for fully grown chickens? It would be their outdoor source of water (we will also put a standard poultry watering unit inside the coop) but as it gets so hot where we live, it is definitely convenient to have cold water flowing into a dish as it warms up/chickens drink/water evaporates.
Thoughts?
