I have to best husband in the world! Look what he made me, and it's working like a champ!
Bucket - free... I've been getting them from WalMart, or from a painter friend we have. Clean it out really good.
Spicket with 1/4 in line adapter - 10 bucks
1/4 in. tube fittings -2 bucks
float valve - 5 bucks
rubber hose - 5 bucks

Now all I have to do is rinse out the bottom once a day. No more slimy waterers! yay!!!

That's really cool! Now figure out how to keep it from freezing in the winter! That's my latest project cuz I don't like to be cold and wet!

:-( I don't think freezing is going to be an issue here in Northern California, but even if it is I still keep a 1 gallon waterer in their cozy coop.
