Large Poultry Waterer with Legs

Clean water starts with keeping the trough out of the dirt. This waterer's removable legs lift the trough off the ground, away from dirt and debris. Put the legs on to keep the trough up out of the litter, or take them off where the waterer needs to sit low.

The larger capacity suits a flock that goes through water fast in warm weather. The translucent body makes it quick to check the water level, and the plastic is molded for years of use. It's a practical pick for a backyard coop or run.

Why raise a poultry waterer off the ground?

Birds scratch, kick and track litter everywhere. A waterer sitting on the floor collects shavings, dust and droppings, and those are what end up in the water. Raising it on legs keeps the trough above the mess, so each refill starts with cleaner water.

Legs also set a comfortable drinking height for grown birds, and the raised rim stays clear of the shavings they kick around. Because the legs come off, one waterer adapts to different spots in the coop and run, which makes it a good buy for a flock you plan to keep for years.

How to use it

1. Attach the legs for a raised trough, or leave them off where the waterer needs to sit low.
2. Set it on level ground in the coop or run.
3. Fill the trough and check the level through the translucent body.

Good to know

• Scrub the trough and legs regularly, and let them dry before you refill.
• Keep the waterer out of direct sun to slow algae growth in the water.
• Check the level through the body each morning. A quick look saves a dry run.
• Pair it with a poultry feeder with legs from the same aisle, so feed and water both stay up out of the litter.
