    Reviews of the chicken fountain product?

    Not at all....the valve is in the main body of the unit and controls the water allowed into the "arms"...so the pressure is no more than you would get in a two litre bottle with a nipple....hope this helps...

    Two weeks in, and the girls couldn't be happier. We have added zip ties to the arms to assist in keeping the unit level as the girls tend to want to roost there.... So far I've noticed a $6 reduction in water bill but that doesn't include a whole month...Girls seem well-hydrated and I am pleased!

    Reviews of the chicken fountain product?

    We just installed this Chicken Fountain over the weekend.....girls were reluctant at first but picked it up within a few hours.

    Can chickens eat this?

    All that being said (and a nod to the Purina sponsored forum)....my Mom's birds look as good or better and tend to outlive mine....I use commercial feed for the convenience....she does not...Her birds do not lay as well but live longer...(does that mean feeding for optimal laying shortens the...

    Can chickens eat this?

    It's true, for optimum laying, you need all that....but if you're okay with a pet who lays an egg every so often, sure, they can survive on bird feed, dog food, table scraps, bugs....my Mom never buys "chicken feed"....it all depends on what you want and what is available to you....my girls...
