I have made one it does not look exactly like that but close. If you go on Ebay you can buy the cups with the "Y" connectors for cheap like $12. I made mine with 1/2" PVC up to a 5 gallon bucket. I drilled a 3/4" hole in the bucket slipped the PVC pipe in and then glued a 1/2" connector so it would stay in the bucket and be water tight. It works really well. My 5 week old chick are at the point now they peck it and water comes out. It is so nice not to have to clean a water bucket out every day. There are a few tutorials on Youtube and Pinterest.I want to make one of these? Has anyone made one? If so, was it easy to make and how long does it last before needing refilled?

The nipples leak maybe not at first but they will after a little while and from everything I have seen they make a mess. The cups are great, the only time there has been a mess is when I overfilled the bucket. I have seen people put them right in a 5 gallon bucket and set the bucket on a block the only reason I did not do that is I did not want them roosting on top of the bucket because you have to drill holes so the water will flow down the pipe.
