RentACoop 1 Gallon PVC Chicken Waterer with 2 Auto-Fill Cups, Horizontal Nipples and Anti-Roost Cone - Suitable for Chicks, Chickens, Quails, Pigeons and Gamebirds

This is a great way to dispense nutrients to my 4 feathered ladies! I hang this on the fence where they tend to relax with 2 short bungie cords, allows me to quickly reach over and grab vs. needing to go inside their yard. That and I can easily add ice on hot days or add warm oregeno tea on cold days. I also keep 2 large waterers filledyard but use this one primarily to rotate doses of vitamins, oregeno tea, ACV, etc. II plan to replace my large waterers with these as they wear out. What I run into with larger waters, if I don't fill most of they way (requiring more nutrients to meet the ratio), they easily tip over if the chickens bump into while digging. And with this one hanging on the fence, I can raise it just enough so when they're digging near it, it doesn't get clogged up with leaves, straw, wood chips, etc. The only thing I see occassionally is dirt specs collecting on bottom of cup from the dirt on their beaks. But mostly I like I can change water frequently without needing to put on my work boots and go into their yard every time.Side note, the comments that water leaks from the 2 holes where the handle is, errrr, d'oh! I prefer the metal sturdy handle over plastic in the hot TX sun, it will last longer and the easy solve is - don't fill it so high :) It's still a gallon of water and makes measuring ratios much easier and less waste (if you're providing fresh water frequently).

So much better than open water bins. The water is always clean and the yard birds just love it

My last waterer from them lasted about 2 years. I replaced my 1 water cup with this 2 cup one. I have 4 hens and only have to refill it twice a week. Good quality, like that it’s white and doesn’t let light in

Love this company! Their products always work well and are durable. This one gallon waterer is much easier to clean than the 2 gallon model. The only thing that does not work is the inside cups for cleaning. Trying to remove them without dumping the dirt right back in the bowl is impossible. Still, easy to clean.

Good quality, Fast delivery.

The first 2 pictures for this listing show a domed lid, but what I got was a flat lid that my chicks can jump up and poop on. They also manage to knock it over frequently and the water runs out the holes where the handle attaches, flooding the pen and leaving them without drinking water. The square lid has tight corners so it is hard to wedge it loose to fill and also difficult to put back on tightly, although that really doesn't matter since the water can leak out the handle holes anyway. The plastic is not translucent, so the lid must be pried off to check the water level every time. This was a major disappointment and very pricey for such a small waterer. I would have returned this but I missed the return window. I also purchased a 5-gallon chicken waterer from this company which had none of these issues, so I don't know why they don't just make a small version of that design.

I thought this waterer would be great to transition my chicks to a bigger waterer by sitting it onto a brick. I had issues with it leaking no matter how I placed it. It is meant to be hung or mounted but I never did that as my chicks were too young and there wasn't a way to hang it in the brooder area. I feel like it will work once you can hang it, and I may try that as they get older, but honestly it is too small for my flock at that point. I am writing this review in case there is someone that is thinking the same thing. I rely on reviews to help me purchase as well. That being said, this is a good product, well made and sturdy. Just not what I needed. I own other products from this brand and they perform well.

Holds a decent amount of water which makes it heavy enough it doesn't tip over. Dome cover keeps the birds from roosting on it. I like how it also comes with the nipples so I will transition from the cups in the fall to get pullets trained for our heated waterer. I also highly recommend the Rent-a-coop treadle feeder.

great bowl. The best thing ever for quails. No mess no fuss set up. Only problem is the lid should have optional flat lid when buying item or supply with spare flat lid. And clear plastic so u can see water level.
