I have had several of this style in the past. They were threaded. These are not. The bottle just sits on it. Does not hold the bottle to the base well. 4 week old chicks can knock the bottle off easily. Disappointed.

Not a fan of this product. Water overflows, bottle doesn’t stay on.

Great for my juvenile birds and lets me recycle my 2 liter bottles. I can just take a fresh water bottle with me and change out the old for a new one!

These work very good so far. You put water in the bottle and put it on.

Seems like a nice way to re-use an old 2-liter bottle for a few months, and swap out as necessary. Seems to stay fairly clean in the field and the chickens don't mind that I didn't pay extra for an all in one unit. It has been fairly windy here in NH and mine only blow over when almost empty. Seems well balanced to me.
