These are just the same as from Joel Salatin's book on raising chickens.

Are the white buckets for water?

I'm not saying get rid of the stupid people, I'm saying do away with the warning labels and let the problem work its self out.

yes, there will prolly be poultry nipples attach to a pipe inside. i have a couple hundred of them, i finally set some up this summer and the birds were quick to catch on. mine are cheapos from China and do drip a bit... no big deal outside. i also use the poultry cups for my quail and in my brooders, cheapos as well but work like a charm and dont make a mess at all.

if you want to see some of the stuff I built take a look through the poultry projects page... I have pretty much documented and explained how to build many things from incubators to converting an rv trailer into a coop. when we moved I pulled it here full of birds! no permit required...

Yes the white buckets are for water with a hose down to the red bell waterers which work by gravity & weight/pressure . Only good in warm weather . Luck
