Rite Farm Products 5-Gallon Auto Pro Chick Waterer Kit

Keeping chicks supplied with water can become a repetitive brooder chore, especially as the flock grows. The Rite Farm Products 5-Gallon Auto Pro Chick Waterer Kit uses a gravity-fed system and automatic float to keep the drinking trough filled from the included 5-gallon bucket, reducing the need to manually refill a small chick waterer throughout the day.

Designed for baby poultry during the brooder stage, this automatic chick waterer features 12 divided drinking stalls that give chicks access to water while helping reduce crowding, spills, and the risk of chicks getting into the trough. One waterer is recommended for up to 25 baby chicks, including standard breeds and bantams, and multiple Auto Pro waterers can be connected in series when managing larger brooders.

Key Features

• 5-Gallon Gravity-Fed Water Supply: The included bucket feeds water to the chick waterer through 3/8-inch I.D. hose, providing a larger central water source for easier brooder management.
• Automatic Float Control: An internal float allows the waterer to refill as needed and shuts off the flow when full, reducing the need for repeated manual filling.
• 12 Divided Drinking Stalls: Separate access points help reduce crowding and spilling while giving baby chicks a practical way to reach their drinking water.
• Recommended for Up to 25 Chicks: One Auto Pro waterer is recommended for up to 25 baby chicks and can be used with standard breeds and bantams during the brooder stage.
• Expandable Watering System: The included 3/8-inch barbed tee allows additional Auto Pro waterers to be connected in series and supplied from one water source, making the system adaptable for larger brooder setups.
• Built-In Hanger Loop: The waterer is designed to be suspended from rope, chain, or cable to help prevent chicks from tipping it sideways while it rests on a level surface.
• Commercial-Duty Poly Construction: The sturdy poly design is made for regular use as chicks grow through their brooder period.

Designed for Easier Brooder Watering

The Auto Pro system is especially useful when caring for more chicks or when repeated filling of small poultry waterers becomes inconvenient. Instead of managing each waterer as a separate water source, additional Auto Pro units can be connected in line and supplied from the same elevated bucket. Keeping that single bucket filled then supplies the connected waterers through the gravity-fed system.

Placement also helps keep the brooder cleaner. For day-old standard-breed chicks, the manufacturer recommends positioning the waterer about 1.5 inches above the bedding on a square piece of 2x12 pine while also securing it from the built-in hanger. The board provides a step for young chicks and helps keep pine shavings farther away from the drinking trough. As the chicks grow, the waterer can be raised to an appropriate height by adding material underneath it.
