I and the chickens couldn't be happier with the nipple watering system we put together. A 5 gal bucketwith lid that sits on a shelf just outside the hen room, a plastic hose barb screwed into the bottom of the bucket, 3 ft of clear hose that passes thru the wall, a 5Ft section of 2" pvc pipe with caps on each end, one with a hose barb screwed into it, and 4 red nipples screwed into the pipe 12" apart. The girls were pecking at the nipples before I even had a chance to get the water in the system. Sure beats flushing crud out waterers and refilling them !
