I like this product so far, and so do the ducks.
We call it the duckpig—they should offer a pink version.
Problem: The hole for the inlet and float valve was drilled partially through the seam between the top and bottom molded body. This seam was not flush and overlapped by almost 3/16" which put unequal stress across the valve stem, so I had to shave away enough for a flush and plumb fit. Also, getting the duckpig level is really important.
Suggestion: A chain for the plug, threaded feet—threaded self-leveling feet or threaded adjustable feet.

I have two of these and my first review was 5 stars. Since then the feet started to come off the bottom of the waterer. We also started to have the rubber plug get picked out by curious birds resulting in all of the water flooding out. Then it continually runs to try and refill resulting in a soggy field. I still recommend as I love the design, but it needs some work to keep it upright. This keeps the ducks from making a complete mess and you can easily dump out the muddy water from the ducks and it quickly refills w/clean water. My plan for improvement is to use gorilla glue for the feet and really pressing in that rubber stopper to avoid the hens picking it out.

I love this drinker and wonder how it will go once our temps drop. We do tend to have super brutal winter weather, so I plan to keep it out to see. I haven’t had issues with the feet but could see how that might be an issue if it gets bumped around.

I’ve been raising ducks for meat for a long time now and water has always been an issue. Between dumping and filling kiddie pools, multiple 5 gallon waterers and the mess that ensues water is a daily chore when you have a lot of ducks. I have had this waterer now for about two weeks and it has been a significant improvement. I currently have 60 jumbo pekins and it’s capacity is perfect, they are able to wash their face/eyes in it, I can rinse it out very easily, and it usually doesn’t make much of a mess.
The only draw back/negative comment I have about it is the feet. THEY SUCK!!! Like other reviews have said the feet do not attach well. I am a plumber of 20 years so I have a fair understanding of how to make things work and how to put things together. I actually gorilla glued the feet in place before the waterer was put into use hoping that would alleviate the issue others have written about. It did not. When the waterer is moved or bumped the feet still have a tendency to fall off. The manufacturer should make the feet thread into the waterer base, not this poor press fit. Unfortunately if the feet fall off the waterer it tilts and the float valve remains open until the waterer is set back up again.
Either way, I would buy it again and I would recommend it to someone with a bunch of larger poultry. I just wish they would make a stable base/feet for it.

Best thing I have ever bought for my chickens. 100°F days and the girls drink a lot of water. Worth every dollar!
