- Suited for: adults
- Number of birds: 60

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
- Remove lid

- Use optional legs or set the waterer on blocks

Cleaning: We suggest periodically dismantling and cleaning the unit to prevent hard water and algae build up from obstructing the float system.

When I go out of town, I love that I can lift the top to see how much water is left. It is so much sturdier and easier to use than those flip over types.

I purchased this waterer (without legs) and the red 3-gallon waterer with legs. They are both excellent. This 5-gallon waterer does not leak at all. I was weary of purchasing because of the bad reviews. I am not sure what went wrong with their product though. I think if it does leak then it is not put together correctly. There are a good number of parts that need to be put on in a specific order to make it leak proof. Considering there is no top to hold pressure it only makes sense that the plug would need to do the work and be assembled properly.
I’m 100% satisfied and will never go back to flip top waterer!

As a waterer it is the best I have had in 20 years. I do find the handle popping of on one side often as the only drawback.

I want to like this waterer, I really do. It’s everything I wanted, large capacity, large opening for cleaning, the ability to have it stand off the ground in the summer and put it on a warmer in the winter. But the thing refuses to stay balanced, no matter how level I get the spot it’s in, and it leaks all over the place spilling out ALL the water every single day. Don’t waste the money on this one. A grave disappointment.

Just what we needed to keep our chickens from scratching up debris into the water.
