I used one of these for a while. My chickens kept getting on top of the bucket and pooping into their water. I also realized that my bowl held 3 gallons of water and I was getting maybe 4 in the bucket after the holes were drilled so now I just use the bowl.

wouldn't it be easier to just put the bucket in with the lid on top so you don't have to flip it each time?

It would, but if the seal on your lid isn’t airtight, the vacuum won’t work. It will hold for a while, but those lids are pretty flimsy and will eventually break seal.

This is the democratic version! The conservative version is the way you said, it's simpler, more logical and just plain easier! I agree with you!

Maybe this works for you, but there are way better solutions. By week 3, my chicks were already jumping on top of the waterer and pooping into it. Nothing would change with this solution. You'd still have birds flying on the top of the bucket and pooping into the water. The only thing you've changed is the amount of water they can poop into. The best solution is to use the chicken nipples. You can go with the simple solution and just stick them on a 5 gallon bucket or you can get fancy and hook up a 55 gallon drum to pvc pipe and put the nipples on the pvc pipe. Either way: * you never have to worry about poop or bedding or dirt of any kind EVER getting into the water * you don't have to worry about water freezing Regarding water freezing, all you have to do is put a poultry heater in the bucket that's controlled by a thermostat outlet. It turns on when it drops below freezing and turns off when maybe it's 34F. You can actually take a 2 week vacation with my method. With yours, by day two, you'll be asking yourself, "Is the water really that dirty? I think it can last another day!!!"

Why can’t you have to lid side on the top and drill a hole in the bottom of the bucket?

The lid is not air tight. The draw from the water would pull air through the lids seam and all of the water would run out. Putting the lid on the bottom creates and air tight seal.. at least for the type of lid I used.
