If you're a backyard chicken owner, you have no doubt dealt with filthy waterers, most likely several times a day. The amount of dirt and feces that can end up in a waterer in such a small period of time can be detrimental to your flock.
A yucky job
On our small family farm, watering our flock was a chore that no one wanted. The dirty waterers, full of dirt and feces, needed to be changed multiple times a day. It was something that required our constant attention-not to mention it was impossible to go out of town for even a short vacation.
The Chicken Fountain is very easy to use.
One year, in the midst of tracking down someone to care for our flock while we were away, we decided to tackle this issue head on. The Chicken Fountain idea was born.
In just a few easy steps your chickens are ready to enjoy their continual supply of fresh, clean water: simply unpackage the product, glue the arms with a small amount of PVC cement, mount the Fountain with the hardware provided, hook it up to a garden hose, turn the water on and it's ready to go.
The Chicken Fountain is equipped with a valve that regulates the water level inside, ensuring that your chickens always have access to fresh and clean water eliminating the need for manual watering. Everything you need to get started is provided (except PVC cement) and training your birds couldn't be easier!
Closed design means safety
The Chicken Fountain has been designed with your flock in mind. Chickens require a lot of water, especially during the hot summer months, and with traditional watering systems, the water quickly becomes dirty and contaminated. This can lead to various health problems for your chickens including Avian Influenza, Infectious Coryza, and Coccidiosis.
The Chicken Fountain's closed design, however, will ensure that your chickens always have access to clean water. This can help prevent health problems and improve the overall health of your flock through proper, healthy hydration.
Another unique design advantage of the Chicken Fountain is the dripper placement. Because they are prey animals, chickens are always on high alert when it comes to predators ... and other dripper systems may have the drippers placed under a bucket or straight ahead forcing a chicken to take its eyes off the sky. This can be extremely stressful for a chicken, leading to increased cortisol levels which can impede egg production.
The Chicken Fountain drippers allow the bird a clear line of sight to the sky and side-to-side, keeping stress to a minimum.
One of the biggest questions we get is if it can be used for other types of birds. The answer is yes! It can be used for a variety of other species, including ducks, guinea hens and turkeys. This makes it a great investment for anyone who keeps multiple types of poultry. The product is also customizable, meaning you can adjust the water level to suit the needs of your flock. This can help prevent waste and ensure your birds are getting the right amount of water.
No more yuck, no more yucky jobs
Clean water is a must for your flock. A chicken is approximately 70% water, and eggs are almost 75% water. Digestion, egg production and your flock's overall health depend on the availability of clean water.
The Chicken Fountain is a must-have product for anyone who keeps chickens or other flocks. It is a cost-effective and efficient way to provide your flocks with clean and safe drinking water.
The Chicken Fountain is easy to install and requires minimal upkeep, making it an ideal choice for both backyard poultry keepers and small commercial chicken farmers. With the Chicken Fountain, you won't have to worry about manually watering your chickens again.
This product is a game-changer and has set a new standard for poultry watering systems.
