We put water in our long sled and put it under the trampoline so it's in the shade.Works great for an outside waterer.
Inside we have a big metal waterer, kinda like the plastic one everyone's been possting pics of, but better.

metal one I have rusted first yr.

I don't use the galvanized ones because of the rusting & I occasionally put ACV in their waterers & that eats the metal out of them. I have 2-35 pound hanging feeders in my laying coop that are made of galvanized metal, those are fine.

same here Lisa, I dont know how big but its the biggest one. Turkey keeps knocking that bar out of its hole.
His foot I think must be worse. I cant check him and if I could I cant soak it so not sure what to do..

only gripe I have about it is after heavy waterer has been sitting on it for a while and the light blows its very hard to open.

Huh. Mine just sits one piece on top of the other and that makes it pretty easy to pull off. It's not an actual cookie tin, just a couple metal pans of some sort that dad found at walmart.
