Review : Finally...I found a waterer I love...no dumping water as you flip it ever again.
Note: This is not meant to be hung so that may have been the issue for the other reviewer. You hang chicken feed so that they cannot scratch and scatter it but a waterer should be put on the ground, up on stones if you want it off the ground. I would expect it not only difficult for hens to drink out of if hung, but the handle is meant for carrying so it wouldn't hang straight...and obviously the weight of it would make it crack. 5 gallons is really heavy and no way can plastic rings hold that up over time; no plastic could hold up that weight on plastic grooves while the lid pulls against it...keep it on the ground; your chickens will be far happier that you did as well and there will be less water spillage which can breed bacteria on the ground.
I have had this waterer for about a year and it's the only one I've tried that I love.
A metal waterer should not be used due to freezing and to maintaining heat in the summer which grows parasites or bacteria...
