Hey yall,

wanted to share my waterer I built that works well, will post pics when I can.

Have a 55 gallon drum raised off the ground on a platform with a "bung" I attached inside the drum for threaded 1/2" pvc run off of it. PVC then splits to two opposite sides of fencing to a chicken area and turkey area. Every 2' I have chicken waterer nipples I got off amazon that I threaded into it and used thread wrapping on them. Chickens/Ducks are able to come and drink as they need and saves a LOT of time and energy. Valve is installed on the end of the PVC at the lowest point so I can drain it for the winter.

EDIT: will post pictures when I get out of work
