Rite Farm Products 3.5 Gallon Chicken Waterer with 4 Horizontal Nipples
Keep drinking water contained and off the coop floor with the Rite Farm Products 3.5 Gallon Chicken Waterer. Designed for adult poultry, this hanging poultry waterer uses four horizontal side-mount nipple drinkers instead of an open water base, helping reduce the spills and mess that can come with traditional chicken waterers.
The translucent 3.5-gallon bucket makes it easy to check the remaining water level without opening the container. It is also designed to block harmful UV rays that contribute to algae growth, giving you a more practical way to manage your flock's daily water supply.
Key Features
-
3.5-Gallon Water Capacity: Provides a useful reservoir of drinking water for adult poultry while keeping the water contained inside the bucket.
-
4 Horizontal Poultry Nipple Drinkers: Four side-mounted drinking stations give birds access to water without relying on an open water base, helping reduce spills around the watering area.
-
Ultra-Flow Screw-In Nipples: The horizontal nipple drinkers use a screw-in design and are made for easy drinking access once your birds learn how to use them.
-
Translucent Bucket: Lets you see the water level through the container, making it easier to tell when the chicken waterer needs attention.
-
UV-Blocking Design: The bucket is designed to block harmful UV rays that can contribute to algae growth while remaining translucent enough to monitor the water level.
-
Designed for Adult Poultry: The waterer is sized and configured for adult birds and should be hung so the nipples sit just above bird height.
A Cleaner Alternative to Open Water Bases
Traditional poultry waterers with open bases can create unnecessary mess as birds drink around them. This nipple-style chicken waterer keeps the main water supply enclosed and gives your flock four dedicated drinking points. Hanging the waterer at the proper height also positions the nipples so your birds look slightly upward while drinking.
