We have been using these water cups for years. We purchase extra so that we could switch out while cleaning the existing pair. They work really well and have never cracked during freezing weather.

I simply love Rent a Coop and these little extra cups are a life saver!!! i like to switch mine out every so often, though they last forever. they work so well, are sooo easy to install, and the girls love them. I’ve always had a 10/10 experience with all of my Rent a Coop products!!

They worked to supply water to pulleys when installed on small bucket however the feature to remove the inside cup to easily clean the water neither my husband or I could ever get to work. Had to use old fashioned way of turning cup to dump water and clean it out. Fact I specifically bought for the removable cup is why I ranked 3 stars. Wouldn’t buy again

These ups work pretty well. The chickens picked right up on using them. There are two problems with the cups, first the nut can only be hand tightened this leads to problems if a chicken nudges the cup it can moved to the side thus draining out the water from the bucket. Try using a square bucket like repurpose an old cat litter bucket and this may help the problem. Second the instructions stated that the cup should be installed 1 inch from the bottom of the bucket. It needs to be installed more than 2 inches up the side of the bucket because you have to have clearance on the bottom. Otherwise, you have to let the cup hang over in midair to prevent pressure on the tube from whatever you have it sitting on and eventually causing the cup tube to leak. The cups do fill without running over as long as the cup remains perpendicular to the ground.

Le veo un gran problema al producto y es que no hay forma que lo puedas limpiar ya que las gallinas tienden a echarle tierra..basura..la única forma es echandole agua desde arriba y se hace fango..debía haber tenido alguna forma de limpieza ya que siempre tiene agua y si el agua está sucia como la retiras?

This is my second order for these, because I accidentally drilled too many holes in my bucket! I’ve ordered three 2-packs, and each pack came with a bonus cup, which is great. I drilled holes into a free food-grade frosting bucket that I talked a local grocery store out of for free, and voila, a chicken waterer! We have both chicks and ducklings, and they were making a terrible mess with their traditional waterer, even with a plastic tray underneath. But the worst part was that they’d fill up the “moat” in the water dish with the pine shavings from their brooder, so every few hours it would get so full that no water was available to them. These cups haven’t really solved the problems of getting water everywhere (duckling will try to turn anything into a swimming pool), but even though they still are putting some wood chips in the cups, there’s still plenty of room for water, so water in continuously available. The one thing I wish is done differently was place the cups higher up on the basket. I basically put them as low as I could put them (about 3” from the bottom of the bucket, so that they were just above the ground when full). My rationale was that I wanted to make sure that my young birds could reach them, and also I wanted to have to refill the bucket as infrequently as possible, so I wanted as much water as possible above the piping that feeds the cups. I highly recommend putting them at least 4 inches above the bottom of the bucket, maybe 4.5 inches, because when you place the heavy bucket on your brooder bedding, the bedding compresses under the bucket, but not under the cups. So the cups raise up a bit if they’re in contact with the bedding (as they will be at 3”), which causes the water to continue “refilling” the cup nonstop. I walked away for a couple of minutes and came back to a mess. I was able to solve the problem by putting a large plastic lid under the bucket, And now it’s working great, but when it’s time to move the birds outside and upgrade to a larger bucket, I will definitely drill the holes higher. Fortunately, the cups can easily be removed and moved to another bucket. Anyway, other than the user error on my part, the transition to the cups has been super smooth. The chickens like them, and the ducks LOVE them because they can finally dip their entire bills in them. I didn’t even have to dip their beaks in the water, they just started using them on their own. Another great RentACoop product! (go buy their heat plate and the accessories that go with it, too).

Used this for my quail pen after having difficulties with other products which leaked. The birds enjoy dipping their beaks especially on a hot day. Very easy to use and no leaking!

I bought the RentACoop chicken water cup to replace the pecking kind of water cup. I wanted a large, clean source of water for my girls that they couldn't knock over. After I installed the original "peck" cups - ones where the chicken pecks at a yellow stopper to make the water flow - I wasn't entirely satisfied. So I bought these cups and am so glad I did.Physically, you can see from the picture that they're much larger than the pecking cups. One big problem I had with the pecking cups is they'd be dry when I'd check. I saw the girls peck at them, but I was worried they weren't getting enough water. I live in a hot, humid climate and making sure they get enough water is very important. I like that these cups are always filled, which I think attracts the birds to drink more.Also, you can see in the picture that these come with a rubber washer and wing nut, which didn't come with the pecking ones. Installing the pecking ones, I used plumbers tape but still got a slow water ooze around the spout. I added some silicone around the hole but there was always a slow drip wetness around the base of the waterer. I took out the pecking cup and installed the new cup in the same hole (same size), with the rubber washer on the outside and tightened with the wing nut. It was so easy and I felt satisfied it was installed well. I've never seen one drop of water since. Little thing but made a big difference.I also like that the water is clean (I use a bucket with a good lid). My original waterers sat on the ground and always had a lot of dirt in the bases, even though I cleaned them several times a week. No longer a problem, although their beaks do drop dirt reside in the waterer cups. It settles to the bottom so there's still plenty of clean water in the cup. I just scoop out the dirt with my finger but it's really not a big deal, it's normal for birds who dig around in the dirt all day! I also freeze water in metal loaf pans during the summer; the ice bricks pop out easily then I drop them in the bucket to keep the water cool (without having to empty out our ice maker all the time... I'm looking at you, husband!).RentACoop even sent me an extra water cup with a little card, which was so nice. I debated how many cups to get and ended going with the smaller number, so I really appreciated getting an extra one as well as the personal touch. I would buy from them again and am really happy with these water cups.I am not part of a freebie network, and I did not receive these for free; I paid with my own money that I work to earn so this is truly my honest opinion. I installed them and they were in use for about a month before I wrote this.

Good idea, one knock from a chook and the bowl popped off, breaking the tiny lugs.Could do with it being much sturdier and preferably metal.
