Automatic Chicken Waterer | Rain Barrel Chicken Water 

It is funny how that works isn't it? I suppose over time we just get used to rolling with it.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm absolutely!!! As long as the sun rises, coffee brews, and the smell of diesel fills the morning air… the rest of the day is ok.

Hello can I get all the links to buy the cups and the little pipe that you got on Amazon for the water cup to screw on please

@@stephenmcgraw3610The link to Amazon is in the description portion of this video. You just tap the more word and you can then see the link for all the things they use to make it and many more of the products they use for other projects. I hope you find what your looking for.

It really does work well. We've replicated this in 2 other spots and will be adding another over the summer for our pigs.

This system really does work great. The only thing we've had to replace 2 years in is a single drinking cup that a turkey decided to stand on rather than drink from!

Any way we can trade you some chicken manure for a load of wood chips! :)

Edge of Nowhere Farm deal.

This set up is still functioning flawlessly years later. The only thing we've had to replace are a few of the cups.

That sounds like a great plan! The barrel we show in this video is behind a mulberry tree, but it still gets some direct sunlight at mid-day.

Glad you found this one useful!

Hey Andrew. You're going to like this setup. We're a year in and no issues so far.

Glad you enjoyed this and found it useful Juan!

Glad you found this one useful DJ.

Glad you enjoyed this one!

Yeah, we're assuming the same with the wing nuts. We are trying to figure out how to incorporate something similar to this for the tractors, so we may end up using them there.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm maybe 8" PVC horizontal capped with a fill and add cups for tractor.

@@slamboy66 that's definitely something along the lines of what we're thinking. Key thing will be ease of filling from the outside of the tractor.

This setup is still running smooth with no issues. The cups eventually start to break down over time, but we haven't had any other issues.

Well, you can always hop the fence and see it in real life! Your bees love these little cups BTW. :)

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm lol haha Thank you guys

I'm glad you found this one useful!

Hey JF. The system is still working flawlessly for us. In fact, we've replaced 2 of the cups so far in 2 years. The first was stepped on by one of our turkeys running from our Tom. The other 1 we just replaced about a week ago as it finally gave up the ghost (not sure how it broke, but it broke off at the lever holding the cup). Keep in mind, our brutally hot/dry summers are notorious for shortening the lifespan of anything made of plastic. While this is in the shade year round, it's still out in the elements otherwise.

Thanks Jimmy. Glad you found this one useful!

Hey Debi, thanks for the suggestions. We painted the line brown thinking that might help until the mulberry trees grow in a bit more for shade. Have to give that roof paint a shot if the water gets to hot for the girls.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Good luck Bub.. I live in Glendale with city water.. But my water in the summer never gets cooler than about 105° even after running for about 20 min. I can even do dishes without turning on the hot water,lol. Years ago i worked for a county road and bridge department and their tar oil was in a large tank painted black. We only had to turn on the tank heaters when the outside overnight temps were going to be below freezing. Crazy.. Lol

Slop the line a bit ? What do you mean 😕 🤔 so it's not sloped good enough???

The cups really do work well!

Hey Bruce. We're over a year in and have had no issues with this system. As long as the barrel is a solid color you should be in good shape. We have not had any algae issues in the barrel and usually wipe out the cups every few weeks.

Thanks Rick. Glad you enjoyed this one!

Hey there Zane! That's a very good question and that's something we're not having to deal with. We have had several nights below freezing, but we haven't been below 30 degrees yet this year and we haven't had issues with the water freezing. I'm not sure how cold it gets where you are, but you may only be able to use this during the warmer months if the water in the barrel freezes. You should be able to insulate the pipes (with insulated pipe wrap from Home Depot or Lowes) to keep them from freezing if it's not too cold.

Or let a small drip at the end of the pipe, after making a 90 degree so it drips outside the coop.

Love that RU-vid handle!

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm lol! Right On! I love the Chicken Bowls!! Those are great! And yes a rain barrel is definitely the way to go. We use these for our garden. We will have to make one of these systems for our chickens!! Great design.

If you want to make it self sustaining, just install a gutter on your coop/run roof and direct that rainfall runoff through a fine screen to strain out debris and directly into your water barrel.

Hey Dan. Yeah, it's the one thing that makes me nervous going to a fully automated system. If it fails you're in BIG trouble. Good thing is, we're out here at least once a day to check in on things and should catch it. Now to head out there and check your suggestion on leading the pecking order with my nose!

This one is holding up really well for us here in AZ. The only thing we've replaced so far is a cup that one of the turkeys jumped on!

Glad you found this one useful Luis. This setup has been great for our layers and continues to function well.

Thank you Henry, glad you enjoyed it!

Hey there Janaina. I'm glad to hear you're having success with this waterer. It's still working flawlessly for us as well. The mesh you're seeing is called shade cloth (or privacy screen) and I'll link the one we buy on Amazon for you here. It comes in different sizes, so hopefully you can find one that fits the area well. amzn.to/3ll5l5z

This is still going strong a few years later. The only thing we've had to replace are a few of the cups that deteriorate over time in our intense dry weather.

Glad you found this one useful!

Glad you enjoyed this one Claire. We painted the coop mainly for aesthetics, so the coop didn't look "junky". That was Lori's term for it at least. :)

Hey there Michele. You're really going to appreciate how well this works for the chickens. It's still going strong even through our hottest summer on record last year! As for the PVC, I don't know whether they are officially graded for food, but these are the same pipes that bring water into most homes these days, so I imagine they must be. Have fun with this!

Glad you found this one useful!

I agree with you there Andrew. They are not that tough.

Glad you found this one useful. This system is still chugging along for us. Only had to replace a few of the red cups.

Hey there! Yes, we fill this with our well water as we're finding our attempts to capture rainwater into it are just not what we hoped for! As for ice, no. Chickens don't need cool water, but they do need regular access to it. If you watch free range birds they will drink from any water source handy. That includes puddles of water that are excessively hot. That being said, using a blue barrel will help with both the temp of the water and also keeping algae away.

WOW! That’s a great piece of info to know! Thank u! @@EdgeofNowhereFarm

Glad you found this one useful Francisco!

That's a great question and I would think it's possible. The PVC works with high pressure systems, so that wouldn't be a problem. Eventually we plan on incorporating rain catchment into this system. It won't be enough to run on exclusively, but we would like to use it if we can. Hence the use of the barrel.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Thank you!

Glad you found this one useful Loren. We're a year into having this installed and have had no issues with it so far!

Good suggestion Eleni. I imagine you could use something similar with a hose attachment at the top that always keeps it topped up and it's fully automated. Hmm....

We've had a few folks suggest foregoing the tape completely with the PVC fittings. I (Duane) was taught to always use it, but I have found that unless there's metal involved it's not really necessary to your point.

Great question Marcelino. The cups are designed so when the cup is filled it shuts the water off. As the chickens drink the water it becomes unlevel and it fills back up until the cup is level again when it shuts off. Hopefully this makes sense.

You are going to love this setup for your chickens. We don't have an update video on it, but we're over a year in and have had absolutely zero issues with this. The only thing that requires a bit of maintenance is keeping the cups clean, which is true for this style cup regardless of how you mount them.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm sweet!! Thank you for getting back to me! 😊 This is great to know. Maybe a little awning for over the cups??

@@CraftyTimewithCatPearson for us it was more an issue of sunlight allowing algae to grow in the cups, but as long as you can keep your girls from riding the awning it wouldn't hurt I suppose! Ours like to slide down our nesting box awnings. :)

Hey there Fred. Glad you like this. It seems to be holding up well, even in the harsh AZ sun!

Solid suggestions!

The main lines are 1/2" PVC and most of the fittings were from Home Depot. The cups and the tees that they go into are in our Amazon shop under Raising Chickens. You can find our Amazon shop in the description of this episode. Hope that helps!

This should do really well for you in TN. Not sure how heavy your frosts get, but we get pretty cold (down to 20) and have not had any issues. We chose the cups because they tend to not leak as readily as the nipples do. Unless they break they pretty much never lose a drop.

No, we don't do anything to cool the water. The barrel is under our mulberry trees though so it is shaded. However, we have these barrels now for our pigs, turkeys, goats and ducks with no shade and they are just fine. Chickens would be fine as well as you'll see them drinking from any puddle of water no matter the temp when they free range.

That's a great question and we have not had any algae buildup in the blue barrels (we use them for pig feeders also). I would imagine a white barrel would let in a bit too much light and you would have issues, so painting it would probably be a good idea. It would preferable to going the chemical route IMO.

Try Apple Cider Vinegar or a dilution of bleach. For my catch/rain barrels I do that every so often, I turn the lid upside down to catch more water and screen it with fiberglass screen/same stuff you have on your house windows depending on age. My ladies have not complained.

@@arthurtmorgan4211 are you the same person that commented about the experts? lol just wondering because your comment doesn't sound much different from these so called experts. but as long as it's you, right.

I was wondering if a price of copper pipe laying in the bottom of the barrel would be ok for chickens. It works great for horse troughs!

Hey Erika, glad you enjoyed this one. I'm assuming you're asking about the hose bib attached to the rain barrel? We purchased that one from Amazon and it's still available, so I'll link it for you here; amzn.to/3yFJgoc Let me know if that's correct.

Thank you for clarifying on the seal for those hose bibs. Totally makes sense given they always have that rubber washer!

We use bricks under the cups to allow younger/smaller chickens to access the water along with the larger birds. As for algae, we have not had that happen inside the barrel as it's always covered. If you do get algae, you can use a very small amount of bleach in the water to keep that from happening. We do get some algae in the cups, but it's easy to just wipe those clean.

Hey Josh. I'm not sure on the metal barrel, but as long as rust is not an issue I don't think it would be a problem. The cups do even out once the water enters them. It's actually part of the design. As they start to lose the weight of the water they slowly rise and that is what causes the water to refill until they're level again.

Hey Kara. Glad to hear this one is working for you guys! We do get freezing temps from time to time, but nothing that is able to freeze the parts and pieces to this waterer. Shy of a heat source, I would really not be able to advise you on that. Hopefully we'll have somebody that sees your comment that can help!

Hello Kara. If you have access to a outside power outlet. You could run an 12/3 heavy duty outdoor extension cord over to your barrel. Could even be fancy and hide it in a shallow trench. Go to your local fish supply store or Amazon. Buy a fish tank heater. Some of them you can adjust the temperature and they will then kick on and off to keep your rain barrel water where it need's to be.

@@89PWRRAM Thank you for that suggestion for Kara!

My question with the freezing is even of you insulate pr add a tank warmer will the little cups not still freeze to much? Thanks!

Those are great questions and we really need to do a follow up. We have not made any changes to the system and it continues to function well (no leaks, breaks, etc). It's the only water source for our chickens during the fall through spring months. During the summer (once we get above 100 degrees) we add small pools for them to stand in that they also use for drinking water.

I really appreciate your response time and thoroughness in answering questions. I did see your video on the chicken swimming pools and am going to try a few here in So. Cal. Cool idea.

We get this question quite often, so hindsight being what it is I should have addressed it in the video. We have not had ANY issues with algae buildup in the barrel. You will get some in the cups which is a simple matter of wiping them from time to time. The key is the dark colored barrel. We have this system in place in 5 different areas of the farm, all with a standard blue 55 gallon barrel and have no algae issues in the barrels. That's not the case for our pig waterer which is in a white/clear IBC tote. That allows sunlight in which is the problem. Hope this helps!

Great question and we haven't really had a problem with that. The PVC is only a few inches from the chain link, so it's very hard for a full grown chicken to get up on there. You may need to put the PVC on the ground and use a tee up to the cups if you're finding it's an issue for you.

I would build like a platform above the pipes maybe a 2by6 over the leangth of pipes 3-4 inches above

These cups have held up really well for us and so far we have only needed to replace one (one of our turkeys ran into it while being chased). Great suggestion on the Peroxide. We haven't had any issues with algae in the barrel, but it does accumulate in the cups over time.

How do you call those cups from Amazon? Nice video. Thanks

@@leonciocapola1036 Glad you enjoyed this one. I'll link to them on Amazon for you here; amzn.to/3MCEnkE

Hey Rachel. They're pretty easy to just wipe out with a rag if they start to get dirty.

We use galvanized tie wire for just about everything it seems. We did the same with this one.

Great question here and, for us, rainwater is almost non-existent, so we use well water almost exclusively. That being said, a simple mesh screen would suffice as the only place you'll find issues would be at the 1/4" connection at the water cup. That might eventually clog if you have larger debris or if it accumulates, but as long as you use a threaded cap at the end of the line of pipe the drinkers are attached to you'll be able to flush those out periodically if it becomes an issue. Sounds like you should be good to go with your setup.

Hey Amanda. The glue we use for the PVC is Christie's Blue Glue. It's what most plumbers and irrigation folks use for gluing PVC piping.

Hmm, interesting suggestion here Sheri!

Glad you enjoyed this one!

Great question/comment on this one. The glue we use here is the same glue used in the PVC that runs all of the water in and around the farm, including from the well to the house. This is pretty much standard practice these days, at least with all of the well systems out here in Wittmann and most if not all irrigation systems in Arizona. So I figure if I'm going to lose sleep over the toxicity of Blue Glue I would have to remove all of the existing PVC around the farm before I could sleep soundly again. In the end, is it toxic? Probably. Is the air we breath toxic? Absolutely. Would I fault anybody for skipping PVC and using natural substances for their feathered friends? Never. Here's to both of us having the best eggs money can't buy in the store! :)

Hey Evan. I can't say it was all that scientific. We only keep full grown birds in this run, so we just estimated on both. The only spacing issue is when the turkeys are drinking. For them, it's 1 at a time. Otherwise there's plenty of space for birds to be at each cup.

Yes, you'll definitely need some insulation out your way. We use the same basic setup for ducks (also turkeys, goats and pigs), but we use a bowl with a float valve instead of the cups. I'll link to a video we did on it here; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5WvbuzPM6Ns.html Here is a link to the bowl we use on Amazon; amzn.to/44th2ee

Thank you so much for your help!@@EdgeofNowhereFarm

Hey guys, great question. We do see freezing temps here in this part of Arizona, but it doesn't stay below freezing for very long (usually a few hours early in the morning). With that we have had no issues with any part of the system freezing. If you see hard, extended freezes you may need to heat the system somehow, or only use it when temps are above freezing.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm thanks great video!

Hey there Jason. We have not had any issues with our freezing temps messing with the lines. That may have to do with the fact that the PVC lines are all either under the metal roofing for the coop, or underneath our mulberry tree. Our frosts usually occur during the early morning hours as opposed to multiple days below freezing, so not sure how that matches up to what you experience.

Glad you enjoyed this one and found it useful!

Hey Chris. Right now we have 10 turkeys in here on these water cups and we fill it about once/month. That's about the same fill rate as when we had our 20 laying hens in there.

Hey Danny. This set up is still working flawlessly. I can't say I would do anything differently at this point. The only regular maintenance we have to do is cleaning algae out of the cups. Otherwise we haven't had any issues with it.

Great question Jeremy and I think it depends. We get down to 20 degrees, but only for a couple of hours and not on a regular basis, so we have not had the components freeze. I would think a stock tank heater would be necessary if you're in a much colder part of the country.

Hey Barbara. That's a good question and I imagine if it's cold enough you would have problems with freezing. We get down into the 20's, but not for very long and only in the morning. We did get a few hard freezes this past winter that froze our bird bath water and hoses and the cups were fine, but I wouldn't be able to say if that would be the case for you as well.

Hey Mark. We use the Christie's Hot Blue Glue. It's the same glue that's used by plumbers for the PVC fittings for everyone's home, so nothing different for the chickens.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm thank you

We don't do anything to cool the water and they do just fine. It does get shade most of the day though.

Right now we're filling that about once/month. That's peak of summer with 24 layers and 4 full grown turkeys all drinking from it.

We usually find them on Craigslist and there's a guy in Peoria (75th and Peoria) who we have been using. We haven't bought one from him with a removable lid, but he has them available. Email us and we can send you his contact info. Email is on the About tab here on YT.

Hey J T. Which connection are you referring to? We've been able to unscrew at the hose bib (fitting shown at 7:21 in the video), the cups (threaded and spin to unscrew) and the end of the pipe (threaded cap) with no issues. If the fitting at the hose bib is too tight you may need to use vice grips or something similar to hold onto the 1/2" PVC fitting until it loosens enough to spin freely.

I'll link to a website that shows what ABC looks like. It's a common material used in building roads that is a mix of sand and gravel. arizonasandandgravel.com/p/Abc-Spec/300005

I had to update the links. Amazon switched up the PVC Hose Adapter on us and it wound up being a slip on the 1/2" side (it's updated now). As for the coupler that fits into the 1/2" male side of the hose adapter, you would need to get those from a hardware store (Depot or Lowes if you have one near you) and ask them for a 1/2" female to 1/2" slip coupler. They're hard to find online because the cost of a single piece is so low. Hopefully that helps.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Thanks for the info!

Hey there Cheryl. I'm not sure what happened to these, but thanks for letting me know they were not in there! I have the links to our affiliate pages for the cups and the PVC fittings if you need those also; Cups amzn.to/3dNAD1N PVC Fittings amzn.to/3dLgpFY

Hey Heather. We didn't jot down all of the parts, so I don't have a list of them. I believe I mentioned each piece if I recall correctly. We've learned since some of these earlier videos to keep a list of parts for this very reason!!

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Thank you for your response. I will watch again and take notes and leave a list here in the comments for anyone else that may need it. :)

Hey David. I'm not sure where the issue is in your system. We haven't had any issues with the setup you see here going on 2 years in. I can only assume there's an issue with the cups maybe?

Great question. It's about 10 inches off the ground, so a good height for full grown chickens.

Great question. We've had some experience with the nipple style drinkers and they can be very hit or miss when it comes to leaking. Sometime they're fine and other times they constantly drip. These do need to be cleaned from time to time, especially during the summer, but it's just a matter of holding the cup down to keep it from filling and wiping any dirt/algae clean.

Sounds like a solid setup that he has!

@Edge of Nowhere Farm yours looks great as well, and you need the idea to put the home in the top for avoiding a vacuum. I think his overflow pipe served that purpose. I just really appreciate you guys giving the rest of us a heads up.

We haven't done an official update video on this system, but it's still running like a charm with no issues. We have replaced a few (2-3) of the cups that deteriorate in the sunlight over time, but they are very easy to swap out. We do place bricks directly under the cups to keep the hens from bumping into the cups and have only lost one to a large turkey jumping on top of the cup. It just broke the cup, not the fittings, so easy to replace. Haven't had a chicken break one.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Awesome! Thanks so much!

Hey there! This system is still going strong over a year later. The only thing we have run into is the need to clean out the cups, but it's easy to shut the system off and unscrew the cups to get them cleaned up and then replaced.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm thank you

We have added acv in the past but have not added anything with this setup. From what I understand it is mostly for the health benefits. I have heard you can use a small amount of bleach for the algae.

Don't add ACV to metal waterers.. they will cause it to rust. I learned that lesson!

We do have the cups (and barrel) in the shade, but chickens are not bothered by warm or even hot water. Much like any other bird you might find in the city drinking from a puddle on the concrete. As for freezing, while we do get freezing temps it's only for a very short period of time in the early morning hours of Winter, so it's not something we have to deal with. I imagine you would need to use a different waterer that you can heat to keep the water from freezing.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm thank you, which side did you mount these on? I'm in North Texas so the heat is a problem too. I will have only 4 chickens. I used shade cloth on the south side and have a roof over they run as well.

@@samuraioodon these are on the West side of our run as it was the easiest place for us to regularly access the barrel for refilling. I can tell you from 10 years of raising chickens here in the desert, you don't need to worry about hot water. We do have shade cloth around the run, but it's to keep the sun off of the birds themselves during the hottest parts of the day. If you free range those birds you'll watch them drinking from puddles of hot water all around your property! 😉

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm ok thank you again. Btw I enjoy your tree pruning videos!

Now that is a great way of looking at it. Much harder to add length back to it if you cut too short. Have a neighbor who is moving onto the 10 acres East of us and he knows how to weld. Need to get some tips from him so I can start making 2 pieces of metal stick together!

You need a metal hot glue gun!

Great suggestion for folks in the colder climates. We don't see significant freezing here in the Desert Southwest, so it didn't even cross my mind! Thanks for that recommendation!

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm I’m in Oklahoma sometimes we get a bad winter like this past one . But most of the time it’s cold one day then next it’s warm enough to not freeze lol. I just finished my coop and I will be doing feeders and a rain catch watered in two 55 gallons with your type of idea and with that I suggested just in case . I just retired early during corona. Trying to be self sufficient. Only have 5 acres but goats and chickens with a garden should do well.

@@coziii.1829 good call on getting on that land for retirement. It's our eventual plan to do the same, so working on getting things set up to do so. 5 acres is a lot of space. We're only using about 2 of the 6 acres we have and there is still just a ton of open space.

For us here in the dry desert it's about once a month for the cups unless we see algae forming more quickly. We have not cleaned out the barrel yet at 1 year in.

You could definitely use a hose, but I would use a pressure reducer at the bib to lower the pressure just to be safe. The cups fill very quickly with just the natural pressure from the barrel.

Thanks. I have a set up now hook up to my hose and it seams to be to much pressure on it even with the valve barely open. The jigglers in the cups seam to be too tight to move properly

Hey Shawn. I'm not an expert and can't speak to the chemical side of things, but if it's harmful we're all in trouble. This is the primer and glue that is used for nearly all PVC fittings for every home built in the last several decades. That's what brings the water into all of our homes!

Hey Donald, great question. They're about 8-10 inches off the ground and work really well with the full size girls. You can also build up the area in front of them with sand for pullets and that should help ensure they can reach. Haven't tried Sapphire Gems, but we've had the other 3 breeds and they all do very well with consistent production, so you made good choices!

​@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Thanks so much! Your videos are great. I've built a smaller version of your pallet coup and run area for my backyard. I liked the idea for the roll-out nesting box so I ordered a two-compartment one and unfortunately it came with two essential parts missing. Can't find anymore available on-line but I guess I have some time to figure something out before they need they anyway. Again, Thanks much.

@@donaldsavage5538 aah! That is just frustrating when you're counting on a box to contain the parts you need. Hopefully you can figure out a way to swing it. The boxes really do work well. Just combined the 2 flocks Friday night and all the new hens shy of 2 found the new boxes and laid clean eggs for us yesterday, so it would be worth your time trying to get them up and running.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Yep, a call to the distributor customer service showed that these were out of stock for the foreseeable future and no others available online (including Homestead Essentials and Amazon); they don't have replacement parts so they refunded me. I asked how they want the incomplete nesting box returned and they said they didn't want it back; just throw it away. ???Wow??? Well, a trip to Home Depot; a couple of aluminum angle bars, some time fabricating the brackets and Viola, a 2-compartment roll out nesting box for 16 bucks. I'm a happy camper!

@@donaldsavage5538 woohoo! Glad that worked out for you. I think you're going to really enjoy having these. We just combined our new hens with our old flock this weekend and with a little straw in a few boxes for the first day we now have our birds laying in these!
