How to raise Backyard Chickens: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Automatic waterer? [2 Attachments]

I set up a 5 gallon bucket with a gamma seal lid so I can easily screw it open and closed which I hang. I put nipples (3 on each bucket) on the bottom and I put a water heater with a thermostat to keep the water liquid in the winter. It works out GREAT! When they were chicks I hated how dirty the water got so I put nipples in plastic mild jugs and that solved that problem. I set it up when they were only a couple of weeks old and they took to it in less that 5 minutes! Here is a picture of the bucket:
