What happens here

For a cup waterer system, take another clean 5-gallon bucket. Drill holes in the side or bottom of the bucket, sized to fit your specific gravity-fed cup waterers. Insert the cup waterers into these holes, ensuring they are securely attached and form a watertight seal. These cups are designed to automatically refill as the water level drops when chickens drink from them. Fill the bucket with water from the top.

Goal: Create a gravity-fed waterer using a bucket and self-refilling cups.
