Small animal water bottles?

[RottenFlower]

I was thinking about having a few small animal waterers in the coop and around the run, in addition to their big waterer.

Does anyone else here use them, and if so, how do they work out? Pros, cons?

I've never used them but I have seen self waterers on the market like this:

You can even make them yourself:

The more options they have the better when it comes to hydration. Give it a shot.

I have heard of people using them in the brooder but I don't see much of a practical use for full grown chickens. I assume that you are referring to the small water bottles that have an elbow tube and are inverted. Some people create large holding tanks with watering nipples for their chickens.
