Is there a good hanging water feeder I can use in the brooding area for Chicks?

I drilled and inserted drip nipples in a large plastic pickle jug. Drilled holes under the lip for the lid to run wire for an adjustable hanger as the chicks grow until they all use the same height.

How did you make the feeder? Can't be just a hole in the side of the jar
cut a slit across and then an inch up at each end. Then i used heavy packing tape to connect the ends of the flap to side cuts so the feed wont spill out. very simple to make. I was going to make small holes and use 1" pvc elbows but they wont accommodate growing chicks.
