Note: The exact number of birds to water is difficult to determine as there are many factors that influence intake; salt and protein levels in the diet, humidity, temperature, productivity (growth or egg production) and the birds ability to process feed and water.
How to Use

I purchased 2 of these waterers with the optional legs for my flock of chickens, turkeys and geese. I was looking for something with a larger capacity than what I have and also something that was easy to clean. These top fill, 5 gallon buckets are exactly what I needed! I was using the kind where you fill, screw the tray on and turn upside down. I have these in 1 gallon and 3 gallon. They need to be cleaned often due to poultry scratching around them and filling the tray with debris and also slime builds up in a day. It seemed like I was spending a great deal of time cleaning and filling. The 5 gallon, top fill bucket has been great! Super easy to clean and fill with a hose. I haven’t experienced any leaking and the directions for assembling and using are easy to follow. I am so happy with my purchase. My poultry have access to clean, fresh water and I am spending more time enjoying them rather than scrubbing and filling waterers.

Leaks.
Please include a troubleshooting guide. A lot of reviews discuss leaking and I would like to be able fix it without calling the company. I’m sure I’m not the only customer who would find that helpful.

I have had a waterer like this for a couple of years but it didn’t have legs. I ordered two of these with the legs and I love them! I don’t know why others have so many problems with them. I never have and I’m using 4 of them at the moment. And they are super easy to clean.

Love this waterer! It is so much easier to fill and stays cleaner with the legs than my previous one. I will never go back to a twist top.

Purchased this 5 gallon waterer for our poultry and waterfowl. It had no instructions upon arrival, which wasn’t a huge deal for us but for some newbies, it could pose a problem. After having assembled and placed our new waterer, we filled it up and about 4 hours later or so, it was completely empty. The idea is great, but the implementation of the idea is not the best. We have purchased now at least 3 different types of waterers from Premier 1 and this one is by far the least liked for the fact of how quickly the water drains over the side. It is at least thankfully, easy to fill, but this also allows the wind to blow the lid off upon occasion. This was also the cheapest 5 gallon waterer by far, apparently for a reason!
★★★★★ Update — Thanks to a phone call from Gordon at Premier 1 after reading my review of this waterer, he was able to get us squared away and NOW we LOVE it! Just wanted to give a BIG shout out and really say THANKS! You guys were great and got us up and running, as our duck population is multiplying by the dozens and this waterer works like a CHAMP now! We would HIGHLY recommend it AND Premier 1!
