The meat chickens are very thirsty birds. I could not keep up with watering them with the small water containers I had so I made some 5 gallon bucket drinkers on an adjustable chain. The chain allows me to move the bucket higher as the chickens get older and taller. At the end of the video you can see how we encouraged the young chicks to find the water.
... and here's a short video showing all of the birds well adapted to using the buckets.
