If you have a paving slab stand it on 3 bricks with the drinker on that.

We use big metal dog bowls on a slab as HF suggested, it works a treat, now all we have to do is stop the poots bathing in it >:(

Easier still is to use rabbit water bottles as they cant get dirty and the hens easily learn to use them :)
I love Pekins, Polands and Seramas :) and eggs!!!
