I LOVE my cup waterers. Easy to clean - just twist them upside down and twist back up. They're by far the waterer I like the best that I've ever used because they are so easy to keep clean - better than anything I've ever found.

I decided not to use them for winter as the tiny necks do freeze even when I kept the water very warm with a fish tank heater.

Here is my final winter assessment and the original post.

Those cups cost me less than $3.00 each.

Quote: That guy in the photo there is 5 weeks old. When I have chicks I keep a canning jar size waterer out at all times even if they have learned how to use them. They were broody raised so they learned from mom...I didn't teach them.

My opinion is that I wouldn't trust them to use them consistently until at least 5-6 weeks and then I'd probably keep very good watch to be sure.

. Now I'll try the nipples.

Cup is always full...the yellow things is a float, not a trigger. So far so good. I do not use it in freezing temps though..
