Lambs will find the most interesting ways to die imaginable. If they can jump in they can usually jump out. You want to dump the trough on a regular basis, usually every day, to keep the water clean and I add javex to mine whenever the trough starts to have green stuff or little bugs in it. They seem to like javex and I think it helps deworm them. They drink very little and very slowly. If there is a continuous flow they will all get water eventually. I have watered 700 head with 1/2 inch line 1/4 mile long on pasture and had no problems with volume. The water goes bad in the trough and has to be dumped every day even with that many sheep. I use a 40 gallon plastic trough that looks like a 100 gallon cow trough cut down to sheep height. I have had a couple of lambs die in other water troughs because they fell in and couldn't get out because they got stuck. They didn't drown, they died of hypothermia.
