Homemade Chicken Waterer
This is our homemade chicken waterer. As in the feeder, we used two buckets of different sizes. We cut off the bigger one to 2 1/2 ” tall and drilled 3 holes for wires to hang the waterer. In the smaller bucket, we drilled 4 holes around the top at the level we wanted the water to be inside the waterer. To use it, we just fill up the smaller bucket with water, put the bottom part on and flip it over. The suction holds it all in place.

This seems to be a great idea!!!My chickens are using it well and I don’t have to worry about my chickens tipping over the waterer anymore.
I like the way you keep your waterer from spilling — that used to be one of our biggest worries in our chicken tractors. You might also check out the chicken waterers my husband invented based on chicken nipples — these waterers not only don’t spill, they also stay clean for days on end. I’d never go back to a simple gravity feed waterer again!
