How to build an Automatic Chicken Waterer

I dont have a hose anywhere near my coop so I built this automatic waterer that runs on rain. you can build one to connect to a hose as well. Just get the kit below and put it in any sort of trough.
This is the valve I used amzn.to/3pVZSru
This kit and valve would work on a hose connector

Great idea. I'm thinking of making one for a deer watering area.

This was a helpful video. I had an idea of what I wanted to do and this was really close and helped me bring it to fruition

Teflon tape or paste on the threads will make it seal better.

You can get rain barrel fittings for your down spout. It has a screen in it to help keep leaves and junk out of your barrel

Great design! How has this worked for you? Do you find it difficult to keep clean? In our heat, I find it much better to have trough or cups for watering, but haven’t figured out best way to keep clean.

IT gets dirty but not too bad. Works good so far. It did freeze in the coldest part of the winter I had a heater in the tank but it wasnt enough
