I put together a simple chicken watering system using a few things I had in the garage:

• 1 length of 2 ft x 4 inch PVC Pipe
• one 4″ slip cap
• one 4″ PVC coupler
• one4″ PVC Test Cap Fitting
• 1 screw hook
• PVC glue
• 1 chicken watering cup

Glue all the PVC parts together except for the clean out plug.  Drill a hole at the bottom so that the chicken watering cup can be screwed into place.  Check the size of the drill bit so that the hole is not too large. Add an O ring on the threads of the watering cup if the cup leaks. 

I drilled a hole in the collar so that it can be hung in the chicken run.  I also drilled a few holes in the test cap in case it rains.  This way the upper section doesn’t hold water, but will drain through to the inside.  The test cap will also keep leaves and large insects out too.

Plus if the section holding the water become air tight the cup wouldn’t dispense water correctly.
