How does this waterer do when temperatures drop to freezing/below freezing?

Answer by Chewy • Jun 27, 2025
This waterer will not work during freezing temperatures.

Does it need electrical connection or battery ?

Answer by Chewy • Sep 26, 2025
This waterer does not require an electrical connection or battery. You can choose to operate it manually, or connect it to a sprinkler timer (sold separately).

Does this need a hose attached to it at all times?

Answer by Chewy • Apr 15, 2025
This waterer is designed to keep the water hose attached. That way it can be turned on at any time whether manually or while connected to a timer.

Can ducks use this?

Couldn't decide between 3 or 4 stars. The flushing design of this waterer really works, but unless you want to waste a lot of water or have to fish out debris, it needs a cover. The way the handle sits on the bucket, however, prevents just being able to set a board atop it. Chickens jump up and it wobbles and falls off, so I have to set a weight on. That keep debris (and chickens) out and the water stays clean with just a quick flush to fill and refresh every few days. So I opted for 3 stars.

So easy!!!

This has made my life so much easier with my flock of chickens! I LOVE not having to clean the font/waterer and haul water that I had before. I do wish that it came

This has made my life so much easier with my flock of chickens! I LOVE not having to clean the font/waterer and haul water that I had before. I do wish that it came with a lid or option for a lid though. Maybe different drain hose length options, but these are all things that can be easily resolved with a trip to the hardware store. Everything is MUCH easier than I thought it would be and I’m probably saving water by not dumping out and refilling every time!

MY CHICKEN DROWNED

Why wasn’t this designed with a lid!? Why design a product for animals that will kill them? One of my adolescent chickens landed in it while jumping/flying around

Works!!

Works exactly as intended. Great little solution for avoiding dirty chicken water. The videos that the brand posted perfectly demonstrate the bucket! Our chickens

Works exactly as intended. Great little solution for avoiding dirty chicken water. The videos that the brand posted perfectly demonstrate the bucket! Our chickens don’t use the nipples, they just drink straight from the top. It’s perfect!

Love this but it needs a loose cover.

My chickens love this. Would easily be 5 stars if it had a loose fitting cover to go on it. To keep loose. etc
