How to support a bucket waterer for chickens

Building a support bracket for a bucket waterer.

A chicken bucket waterer.Bucket waterers are very popular for chicken
keepers with more than a dozen birds.  When you buy one of our
diy chicken waterer
kits
, it’s simple
and cheap to install chicken nipples in the bottom of a scavenged (or
bought) five gallon bucket.




But how do you support a
heavy bucket of water on the side of your coop?  Mark made a cheap
and easy bucket waterer support out of a two by two, some screws, and a
couple of shelf brackets.  The finished support now graces the
walls of my father’s chicken coop in South Carolina.  Thanks for
being our guinea pig, Daddy!
