DIY chicken drinker

Having become increasingly frustrated with my hen's ability to spoil their drinking water fast, I did a bit of online research on alternatives to the dish based drinker for chickens.
I realised with a few simple materials it is possible to make a spoil-proof solution at home.  I thought I would share with you what I came up with...
I drilled a hole in an ordinary bucket and using silicone (lots!) and a hose connector, joined a bit of hosepipe to the hole.  On the other end I attached with a jubilee clip a nipple drinker that i bought cheaply from eBay.  The whole thing is then hung from a hook and held in place by duct tape!
I put my new contraption (I will admit it looks slightly Heath-Robinson) up in the coop just now, and after a small amount of encouragement with well placed meal worms, my ladies are drinking enthusiastically!
Where the expression "bird brain" comes from, I don't know, all I can say is it's not from the domesticated chicken!!
