Clean, easy, and healthiest for my chickens!!
Best and cleanest watering solution I’ve found for my chickens!! I don’t like nipple waterers because I don’t feel like they get enough water. I don’t like the cup ones that require the bird to peck a yellow tab because again, they won’t get enough water due to them having to do some weird task. I feel like they will give up before hydrating enough.These cups are awesome though. The water is right there and accessible all the time. The cups work by filling automatically until the weight of the water closes the tap. No overflowing and water is always there!Before buying these, I was just using an open 2 gallon bucket of water. They would get it dirty and poop in it, but I’d just change the water daily. Meh.My one small complaint is the cups themselves aren’t easy to clean while attached to the full bucket of water. I can’t turn and pour them out, and bouncing and splashing the cups doesn’t really work. I just sort of scoop at the water dishes to remove the sand or bedding out of the bottom of the cup, which works well enough. They really don’t get that dirty, just the stuff that happens to be in the hens beaks when they take a sip.These are also VERY easy to install. It takes a couple of minutes to drill holes and screw them in, and there is no leaking at all. I used a brand new Home Depot bucket with a lid.Tip: place the lid lightly on top of the bucket so the water can flow freely into the cups. With an airtight lid, a vacuum will form inside the bucket and not allow water to flow. Another option is to drill a very small hole into the lid to just allow a little air.Rent-a-coop also included a spare watering cup!!! They didn’t even advertise it, so I was so pleased to see they just give you an extra just in case!!! Awesome waterer and an awesome company. I’ll definitely be buying more stuff from them in the future!

Great solution for watering the chickens (just make sure to install a bit higher than one inch)
These have made keeping water for my chickens much easier!!! I no longer need to refill their waterers every day. I installed these on five gallon buckets. And yes they are VERY easy to install. However, the instructions will have you install them about one inch from the bottom of whatever container you choose. I recommend installing about 2 inches from the bottom. If you don’t, the cups will rest on the ground forcing them up which causes them to leak. Also, you will need something to raise them up off the ground or coop floor to keep them from leaking if you don’t install the cups high enough. there are times I just need to place them on the ground or coop floor and I can’t do that. So I have to place the buckets on top of cinderblocks. I will have to purchase more buckets and reinstall these cups higher. But, the cups work great!!! They are durable (I’ve bumped and banged them a few times and they haven’t broken.) they are easy to clean, just rotate them to dump any dirty water and then rotate them back into position and you’re done. I really love that they refill automatically and there’s no water wasted or dumped over daily in the coop. I purchased these for my chickens but my dogs love drinking out of these also, so they could work for dogs also! Great product and I would definitely purchase again.

Good Waterers - Would buy again!
Tried a few different watering systems for my chickens. These have worked the best, haven't leaked (I like the seal), seem to stay filled just fine and the chickens have no issues with them. I would purchase again.....and did as I bought the pipe kit system for the coop. They have a clean out cup you can remove and clean, however it's a little tough to get out so just clean them in place. These work and feel are a great value! One tip for install: I used an old ice cream container I got for free but installed the cups at different heights. You can't see the level of the water but with different heights one cup will be out of water before you completely run out of water in the container for the chickens. Works as a good water level indicator for me to know when to fill it up. Again it's a good item.

Instructions wrong- product great
Mount them higher than the instructions describe or you can't set the bucket on the ground. If you fill up the bucket and the water disappears, remove the rock or dirt from under the cup. Great product, instructions just need revamped.

Affordable, easy setup, good quality.
Been using these for about a month attached to a 5 gallon bucket. Setup took no time at all and the instructions were well written enough even my kids knew how to set them up. Chickens took to them quickly. Easy to clean out if anything does get in them.

They work okay but….
I’m using these for my gravity fed water harvesting system for my chicken. They work fairly well. However, Dirt and debris collect in the cup and you have to spray it out with the hose occasionally. Also, don’t make the mistake of putting the pvc that feeds it in a position to be used as a perch or the chickens will poop in the cup. Also, it can’t be used in winter. Just get the kind that they peck instead.

*Mount higher for better results*
I love these cups. They’re easy to install and easy to clean. I used a 5 gallon bucket and drilled the size holes that the directions suggest about 1” above the bottom of the container (also as instructed). I would recommend drilling the hole a little higher even though it will leave more water “unreachable” inside the container. The reason is that when I carry the bucket to my hose to clean and refill, I need to have a cement block ready or another platform to set the bucket down on so the cups don’t touch the ground. If i tried to put the bucket down on flat ground, the cups would be too low and would have to hold the weight of the whole thing, and would definitely break. So far, I haven't noticed any leakage and the chickens figured out how to drink out of them immediately.

Muy buenos comentarios de la gente pero..
Le veo un gran problema al producto y es que no hay forma que lo puedas limpiar ya que las gallinas tienden a echarle tierra..basura..la única forma es echandole agua desde arriba y se hace fango..debía haber tenido alguna forma de limpieza ya que siempre tiene agua y si el agua está sucia como la retiras?
