I'm not a fan of the nipple system, either and have been looking at the bowls. Here they are.

I will have water hoses coming out of all of my rain barrels, so that I can use the collected water to fill up all of my gallon and rubber waterers. I have a lot of chickens, duck, geese and turkeys, so I have to dispense the water that way.​

That is a fantastic setup......too bad it is against the law to collect you rain water in Colorado!

Believe it...I'm not making this up!! I moved here from Illinois and I have never heard of such stupidity!!!

Finding a Big HONKIN pickle barrel CHEAP is the real trick...
We happen have a little old guy living nearby who sells them off of his front yard... $15 each!

You can also find them at farmer supply and tractor supply places
but they will NAIL you for $75 each...

We also have a guy here selling them out of the front yard from 15 to 20 depending on the style. I also got one at my feed store for around $25 so not quite as expensive. I have one waiting to be set up as a rain barrel for the front of the house. You can also check craigslist, you might be able to find some on there for cheap.
