My waterers keep breaking- suggestions?

[PippinTheChicken]

So I've gone through 3 waterers in a year.
THREE!
I need some suggetions!
No nipples please, I want one that they can all gather around!
I've spent over 10 pounds replacing waterers, so I'm okay with anything up to 25 pounds.

I've been looking into tripod waterers- are they good?

I had the same problem. My waterers all cracked and broke within a couple months. So, I got this waterer a few months ago: https://www.amazon.com/LITTLE-GIANT...ywords=chicken+waterer&qid=1636994590&sr=8-60
So far it's working great, and I really love it. I haven't seen how it does in the winter yet, but I think it will hold up, since the plastic is a lot thicker and stronger than most other waterers.

I get my waterers as TC and they work GREAT. Otherwise I have a large metal one that I use for when I'm on vacation. It works really well. I've never had a waterer break before... Maybe my flock just isn't as violent when it come to water

they didn't crack or anything, they just leaked

Can you find the metal ones? Those last decades. I actually water my chickens with a roasting pan.

I did find them, but they don't have legs

I am not sure I understand why you need legs? Just your preference or is there some chicken science reason That I don't know?
