Having a pretty rough morning. Found out my grandma passed away last night. With my Husband in Texas and running the restaurant while my bosses are in Florida I won't be able to make the 12 hr trip home I don't think. So I am going to play with my chicks

I copied this from Ur-ur-ur-urrr. I figured it would be appreciated info here.

Here's a quick, easy, and inexpensive water container that's ideal for use inside of a brooder or coop. The water stays clean so it doesn't need to be changed daily, and there's virtually no waste or spatter, so bedding stays dry. This procedure can be used on larger or smaller containers. While I haven't attempted metal, they work great on most any plastic containers... as long as it's thick enough to provide a good seal on the threads. 
 
I previously had a Sterilite 2-quart pitcher in my brooder, but with a large number of chicks, it requires refilling every day. I bought a 1-gallon pitcher from a dollar store to make a new one with the extra horizontal poultry nipples I got from Amazon. Start by drilling 1/4" holes in three places (or how many you want) near the bottom of the pitcher, swap to a 3/8" bit to get the final size hole. Drilling a smaller hole and changing to a larger bit helps keep the plastic cooler so there's less melting and balling up of the plastic. Once the 3/8" holes are drilled, I trim off any burrs that remain, and give the holes a slight bevel since the nipple threads are tapered. Making sure the nipples are not going in at an angle, screw them in until they're almost flush with the pitcher. You don't want to screw them all the way down, or you run the risk of stripping out the hole! Once the nipples are installed, it's time to leak-test them. I've made several of these, and have yet to have one leak.

Had to move this back up. Took to long to find. Got the wrong spouts but going to give it a shot.

Thank you everyone. Just wish I could go home to be with my family
 
Some of the chicks I'm getting this week from Sandhill Preservation Center:
Norwegian Jaerhons
Flame Jaerhons
Mille Fleur Leghorns
Muffed Old English Game

The Muffed Old English Game are part of the assortment. I'm not too sure I want to deal with games, if they have fighting on their mind. They are supposed to be excellent at free ranging and the hens excellent mothers. Anyone here have an interest in large fowl games?
 
Well this definitely brightened my day. We let Hedwig out tonight for a bit and she chased my boy Drago around house trying to cuddle with him. 4 times he got up and moved and she followed lol. He is wet and is normally pretty poofy. She kept rearranging his hair and legs to get a better spot. He's pretty laid back but I didnt know he was this chilled out.
