The Original Automatic Chicken Waterer

No more cleaning and filling bowls!

Keeping chickens watered can be challenging, especially during the summer when they need more water, and the water evaporates quicker.

Cleaning and filling water bowls is inefficient, inconvenient and an ongoing chore.

The Chicken Fountain connects to a standard garden hose and provides a constant source of fresh, clean water anytime your chickens need a drink.

Why let your chickens drink from filthy waterers?

The Chicken Fountain is a closed system providing a clean water source.

It is unhealthy for chickens and other pets to drink water that has been contaminated with bugs, feathers, and droppings. Water can also become stagnant, grow algae and carry disease.

Many illnesses can be transmitted through contaminated drinking water. Coccidiosis, avian influenza, E. coli, and infectious bronchitis are among the most common.

Your flock deserves a clean source of fresh water!

FAQ

  • How do I teach my flock to use the Fountain?

    Birds are naturally curious and will be interested in The Chicken Fountain as soon as it is installed. Removing their current poultry waterer will encourage them to seek a new source. You can also place a rubber band around the feeder arm and pull the band over the dripper, opening the valve. The released droplets of water will attract the birds, and they will soon begin to peck at the drippers. Placing their feed close to The Chicken Fountain will also help them become familiar with the new source.

  • How much water pressure does it take for The Chicken Fountain to work?

    The Chicken Fountain™ is an automatic poultry waterer and functions properly between 1 PSI and 120 PSI. This makes it ideal for bucket, rain barrel and direct connection to a garden hose. Operating outside of this range can result in your fountain malfunctioning. Typically household water pressure is between 60 PSI and 80 PSI so this is normally not an issue.

  • How often do I have to clean the waterer?

    This depends on a couple of things, the flow rate of the water (usage) and the lid being on keeping sunlight out. Our backyard poultry waterer is designed to keep fresh water moving within the unit. We encourage our customers to buy the smallest Fountain they can get by with for their flock to ensure continual flow. Keeping the lid on and sunlight out greatly reduces algae growth as well. Most customers go months without cleaning, but again it will depend on your situation.
