Has anyone used this waterer?

[Beckaryu]

Curious if anyone can show me, with pictures/videos, how they set up this style of water trough? I just got 4 of them and I’d love to get it up and working the most efficient way possible.
Can’t wait to hear from you!

I found the 3rd picture online, but I’m not a fan of the way it is set up - and do I have to keep a hose hooked up? Hmm, creatively I’d like to figure something else out.

Looks like they would run on irrigation line and press the top button to dispense? Did it come with directions?

I like my buckets 5 gallon with nipples on the side I use smaller bucket to tarin peeps about week 4 they can use them but have to show each one ..
Cups where tough to get regulated lot's of problems for us.

Irrigation line will work well yes. They dispense water by pressing down on the cup - They were given to me from the gracious people at our local feed store. They had them left there by the previous owners and didn’t know how to use them. I’d like to give them a picture of one we create

Thank you for sharing! Do you think it might be a bit harder to get older chickens to use the nipples?

I started out using the cups but you'll find they get quite gross! Between stuff getting kicked into them and mold and slime growing where the cup connects to the spring inside they get pretty nasty. I prefer the nipple waterers myself. Go on YouTube they have lots of different videos on how to make waterers

I used to use that one but found it too difficult to clean. Even cleaning with a tooth brush didn't get the red cups clean.

I steered clear of those as they hold debris and need to be cleaned , I use the spring loaded drip nipples, the gravity drip nipples leaked too much.
