5 GALLON Poultry Waterer -Up To 30 Chickens- By: RentACoop
Since the time we began selling our bucket waterer in 2013, we have made many improvements with the help of our customers' suggestions. -We have added a chain to stop the metal handle from bending -We have replaced the flimsy black lid with a strong, durable lid that allows you to insert a water heater or fill the bucket with water without taking the lid off. -We have switched to Food Grade plastic that is almost twice as thick as the original bucket's wall. Why we started making our own: 5 gallon buckets are made to carry 5 gallons of paint for 1 minute at a time, not to be hung up for years with 40 pounds of water. Unfortunately, the parts of the plastic bucket that the handle is inserted into slowly break down after 5-6 months of hanging. We have solved this problem by installing metal brackets. You will never again have to clean chicken waste or dirt out of your waterer. If you search Amazon (and the rest of the internet for that matter), you will find that our product is the least expensive 5-Gallon poultry waterer for sale anywhere online, but don't be fooled by the low price. Our goal is to make the highest quality product, that lasts a lifetime, with better functionality than it's competitors at the lowest price. Purchase this waterer and you will not be disappointed. Winter is Coming!! We recommend the "Farm Innovators C-50 Premium Cast Aluminum Birdbath De-Icer, 150-Watt" It works well in temperatures down to 15 degrees Fahrenheit at which point the nipples freeze but the water inside the bucket will have no ice. Once morning comes, the nipples will unfreeze. We have been using this de-icer for 10 years and it works great with the nipple style bucket. You can drop an electric heater in the bucket and have the cord coming out of the small black hole without the cord having to come out of the side leaving the lid half way open.
