Chicken Waterer

I was frustrated with always cleaning dirty chicken waterers. After much research I can across these 360 degree chicken waterers . They are easy to install and the chickens figure out how to use them! You just need to take away any other source of water at night , then when they wake up in the morning they will go in search of water. There is a drop of water on the end of the nipple for they to peck at, then when they reach for that more water comes out.
I have attached this to the rain water system we had in place with a 18" piece of PVC. I put a plug on the end so I could easily empty and if needed, clean it.
Farmtek gives good instructions , the one step I added was to use Plumbers tape with all the connections.
