While working with increasing water capacity and redundancy, Debbie bought a bag of 12 of these automatic watering valves. They use a pretty slick concept, where the water bowl lifts as it's emptied, opening a simple rubber valve and refilling the bowl. I grabbed a bucket and installed them, to test the functionality.
They work great, and the chickens immediately began using them. I think I'll get a couple more buckets, remove and plug a few of these, and build more. Simple and cheap!
