How do I use for the first time?
Steps:
- Fill with 12 gallons of water and replace the lid, ensuring a secure fit.
- Remove all other water sources and gather chickens around the waterer.
- Tap nipples until water fills the cup (red color naturally attracts chickens). When one chicken begins drinking, others will follow.
- Check water levels daily and refill as needed. Discard any stale water before refilling.
- Blocks or bricks may be placed under the Feeder and Waterer to accommodate your chickens’ feeding height preferences.
How often do I refill the drinker?
Simply screw off the top to gain access to water refill location.
Recommendations:
Add 3-4 Tablespoons of raw, organic apple cider vinegar or add a poultry water protector to prevent algae (optional)
Refill Schedule:
- 3-5 Chickens, Every 4-6 weeks
- 6-11 Chickens, Every 2-3 weeks
- 12-15 Chickens, Every 1-2 weeks
Will the nipples leak or drip?
No-waste, drip-free nipples allow 3 chickens to drink at one time. This is something that has been designed and redesigned with you in mind.
What is this Poultry Drinker made out of?
Constructed with UV-protected, food-safe, BPA-free, recyclable plastic.
Why this design?
No more daily water bucket cleaning and filling - Your waterer can be placed directly on the ground for refilling and cleaning.
A fully-sealed design prevents chickens from soiling water, which saves time and conserves water.
