KEEPS WATER UNFROZEN – 100 watt heating element is controlled by a built-in thermostat. Turns on when ambient temperature is below 40°F and off at 60°F. (Note: Water does not get hot, or even lukewarm.) The heating element keeps water from freezing so poultry have access to a source of unfrozen water.
QUICK-FILL CAP – During extreme cold, the insulated lid may freeze to the basin. To ensure water can be added even during inclement weather, we've added a hinged cap to the lid which is just the right size for a hose or watering can. Refill without removing the lid!
WATER STAYS CLEAN – Nipple drinkers are popular for good reason—water stays clean and fresh until consumed. Birds drink from (3) recessed nipples. Over time, dirt and debris may clog a nipple, causing it to slowly leak. (3) spare nipples are provided with the unit. (Read tips below for training birds new to nipple waterers.)
SUITABLE FOR HANGING – Heavy-duty handle can be used for carrying and hanging. Tip: Place a rubber pan underneath a hanging waterer. Rubber doesn’t freeze (or crack!) when ice builds up, so the coop floor stays dry. It also helps to catch drips that hens or roosters might flick off the nipples and onto the bedding.
3-GALLON CAPACITY – Suitable for up to 35 adult chickens. Ducks trained to horizontal nipples can drink from this waterer, although we recommend having another source of water nearby so they can submerge their heads.
4-SEASON WATERER – 16 ft. electrical cord DETACHES for non-winter use. Dimensions: 14"H x 13"W x 13"D.

Refill without removing the lid!

Customers love our Heated Poultry Waterer, but they don’t love fiddling with the lid when it’s really cold. (We don’t either!) So we’ve added a hinged quick-fill cap. It’s just the right size for a garden hose or watering can. With a glance you can also check the water level. Quick-fill lid fits all Heated Poultry Waterers sold since 2019.

A few tricks for dealing with stubborn birds

Remove all other sources of water. Place the new nipple waterer in the old waterer’s location.
Bring a bird’s beak directly to the nipple waterer and flick the nipple. You may have to activate the nipple with the bird’s beak to demonstrate the new water source. (See video above.)
Place a sunflower seed in the drip trough. When the bird pecks at the seed, it will discover the new water source.
Use a red laser pointer to direct chickens to the nipple. Similar to house cats, our chickens will chase and follow the red light. (This was inadvertently discovered by our photo dept and is now our go-to method for getting camera-shy birds to cooperate.)

You don’t have to train every bird in the flock. Just a few will do. Once the first chickens begin drinking, others will follow.

Detachable cord for non-winter use

The detachable cord can be stowed separately during warmer months.

The electrical plug cap (used during summer months) fits over a nub on the bottom of the bucket.

IMPORTANT! When connecting the detachable cord to the base, make sure the alignment notch slides easily into the groove on the bucket’s receptacle. (See photo.) If misaligned, the unit will NOT function as designed.

Heavy-duty handle for carrying and hanging

Integrated lid handle can be used for both carrying and hanging.

Simply fill the bucket and lock the top in place. Either hang with a snap clip or braided cord, or place the waterer on a cinder block.

Precautions

We recommend placing this waterer in the coop and protected from wind. The water and nipples may freeze if exposed to direct wind.

Warning: Risk of electrical shock—Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
