I’m still looking for an awesome waterer, that works for me and my chickens. I tried the premier one with the nipples but my chickens just never caught on to using it enough to satisfy their thirst. So unfortunate, I really! wanted! it to work because its a high quality heated system, and clean and I thought was a great solution for my flock. However, I became concerned about the chickens actually getting enough water. They seemed to have to work so hard for it. During the trial days of getting them used to the nipples, and with this being their only water source, per recommended, I brought in a bowl of water and I never saw them all so thirsty! So even though they knew it was a source of water, (me watching them drink from it) it just never was enough for them. Any way good review, thanks.
I use the galvanized and they clean great when you don’t wait until it’s so crusty 😮 All of the waterers are filthy, how do they look when you aren’t showing them on video?
I to live in MN. I use the galvanized. I use a big one in the summer and a smaller one on top of the heater in winter in the coop.

Greetings. I am still new to chickens with 9 birds, and i have not yet figured out how i am going to run power for water heaters. Do you use solar?
I also live in Minnesota.
Have you ever thought of creating your own water collection system so you never have to refill?
