Yes, several people here use them and are real happy with them. I have 10 myself and they work great, stay real clean as well. There is a little learning curve mostly to the human but the birds catch on how to use them rather quick. There are several threads about them here, do a search or just go back a couple pages and you'll find something. If I see one in the next few minutes I'll post a link for you here.

Here's a good topic about the watering cups, https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/798627/help-automatic-watering-cups-are-not-working. I posted a link in that topic to a page where a fellow chicken farmer talks about teaching the birds how to use them. Read it all, it won't take long.

I got one of these from Ebay.....
Very happy with them so far.

The yellow thing is a float...there is always water in the cup so the chickens don't have to fiddle around to get water. Only downside is they come from Australia...

Here's the link.....

The ones I am looking at come from Washington.

Quote: Actually Dan, the watering cups come from China. The folks in Washington, you probably saw on ebay, are one of the many distributors here in the states that sell them. I have been buying direct from CoopsNMore.com check em out they may save you a few dollars, I have had good luck with them and they ship really quick. The link will take you to their feeders & waterers page where there are 4 pages of parts, pieces and supplies.

That is incorrect about where they are made. Those cups are made in Mexico with quality plastic. The cups made in China are inferior plastic and parts and leak as they fall apart.

Did you purchase those water cups from Ebay? How do you like them? Just noticed it says right in the auction "Not Made in China"
