Hi Aaron

I've got a couple and the chooks do work out how to use it quite quickly, and it does hold an amazing amount of water. I did get a glug after though and the chooks do prefer it: they can get a good beak full of water and swallow, while the superglug is more sips.

 

I'm glad I've got both, the superglug is great for weekends away, for example since it won't run dry, evaporate, or get lots of dirt or leaves in it very easily like the glug does.

 

I do know that some omleteers put their superglugs very low down and their girls drink from the top.

YUP mine drink from both top and bottom!

so is it worth it? or should i just stick with th normal glug

[jade&mike]

mine prefer the glug by far, so i sold the super glug and bought another glug, also the get their beaks so dirty scratching around i like that they can wah them of in the glug.

if your stuck for a present - have you seen the very cool egg skelters in the omlet shop

Do you have the eglu run ,as you will find it a bit tricky to hang in there.

[aaronmusgrove123]

yeh just a normal eglu run the website says suitable for eglu's as well

Aaron I got one as a spare for my eglu and the chickens never worked out the drinking method so I just put it low on the bars and they drank from the top. If I could do it again I would just order another glug as they really like to get their heads in and have a proper drink. Different people have different views but those are mine.
