How to Use It
- Setup Location: Place on a level surface in your coop or run, preferably raised slightly to reduce contamination from debris or droppings.
- Fill: Open the top-fill lid, pour in clean water until full, then secure the lid to prevent spillage or contamination.
- Check Water Level: Ensure the base has sufficient water for your flock’s drinking needs—especially on hot days or with many birds.
- Daily Maintenance:
- Clean the drinker daily or every other day to prevent algae, debris, or bacterial buildup.
- Refill as needed—on busy days with many birds, your reservoir may drain quickly.
- Move & Refill: Use the carry handle to relocate the drinker if needed, such as moving from coop to run or repositioning for weather protection.
- Winter Use: In colder climates, consider pairing with a heated base to prevent freezing (sold separately).
