Frequently Asked Questions
How do the cups actually work?
Each cup has a spring loaded trigger that birds tap while drinking, which lets fresh water flow in and then seals it off again. Chickens learn the motion within a day or two.
What do I connect them to?
They work with a gravity fed bucket, a barrel, or standard PVC pipe, so you can build the setup that fits your coop. The threaded body screws straight into a drilled hole and seals tight.
Are they suitable for ducks and turkeys?
Yes, the cup is deep enough for larger birds to drink comfortably and the trigger responds to a gentle push. Ducks, turkeys, quail, and chickens all use them happily.
What are they made from?
Food safe plastic with a stainless spring inside, chosen to shrug off sun, damp bedding, and constant pecking. The material stays rigid season after season.
How do I keep them clean?
Wipe the cup out with a brush every week or so and flush the line when you top up the reservoir. Because the cup is enclosed, it stays far cleaner than an open trough.
