How often do u change water dishes

[Chloeross8]

Hi everyone i was just wondering how often yous wash or change their water dishes, i have 3, 3 litre water containers placed around my garden and i take them in every morning wash them and give them nice fresh cold water, how often do you all do it?

It kind of depends how dirty they get, or if the water freezes in the winter. During the summer, I usually change the water every other day. If the water is dirty before that, I just change it earlier.
During the winter, I sometimes have to change the water several times in one day because it freezes.

I mostly use a five-gallon bucket with water nipples on the bottom. I only put one or two gallons in at a time, otherwise it's too heavy to hang. I change it every third day or so. Sometimes I also put in a gravity waterer, the kind you see in feed stores, for varying reasons. That I change and scrub out daily, as it doesn't hold as much water and is easier to clean. Also because they kick bedding and crap in it.

Daily.

Daily.

I'll refresh water twice a day if it's super hot.

I clean them with my hand and water and refresh daily and then deep scrub with soap and water once a week.

My outside water pails get fresh water in the morning and dumped when I lockup at night.
In a heatwave I'll dump and refill once or twice daily.
In the winter I use rubber bowls outside and dump ice and refill as needed.
I have a galvanized waterer inside coop. In the winter the waterer sits on a heated base. GC

I just top off my horizontal nipple waterer daily,
wash it out twice a year when I add/remove the heater.

I fill it about once a week (I give it a bit of a lift to check how full it is).

I rinse it out each time I refill. Never had to do more than a rinse out.
