AJuff Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I'm considering buying a large chicken drinker as I have to cart water up and down every day to the hen house. How do they work? Are they easy to fill? Are they robust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I use these and can highly recommend them. They're just big enough at 4l to save the water-lugging too often, but not too heavy to lift and carry. They've survived a couple of freezing winters and scrub up as good as new. I have (or should say had til the other day when the gales blew a fence over and smashed it) the 8l version, which was too heavy to be comfortable.

Olly Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 There's a review of feeders and drinkers by Terry Beebe n this month's Practical Poultry. The green-based ones like the one linked to above score 23/25, and come out top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 Thanks for that . . will be purchasing as my chooks really hate their super glugs and would rather drink dirty puddles than fresh water!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I can highly recommend Regency Poultry (Terry Beebe). I ordered a load of stuff on Wednesday and it arrived on Friday in perfect condition. 10/10 from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
