So would they work alright for adults as long as they had a separate source (maybe outside) they could stick there faces in?

Third parties sell things through Amazon.

I would think so. I now wonder how they keep from getting clogged up easily though.
Yes, but Amazon is responsible.

Maybe they would need rinsed out every now and then. I know the water bowl needs it because the ducks drop food in there all the time.
Amazon sets it up to deflect the blame to the 3rd party. Kind of a "sorry you're order got messed up but it's there fault not ours" type of thing.

I was under the impression they did not.

How else would one keep the bottom collector bowl cleaned out?

This is from a hatchery.

What hatchery?

Has anyone ever used these? Or, at least have an opinion of them?

I thought about trying those but haven't bought any yet. My two main concerns were that they would get dirty (like the water dish they had now) because my chickens get shavings in EVERYTHING, and that they would freeze in the winter since they hold water outside of the bucket (so I would imagine the tank heater wouldn't keep them from freezing).

I would think a gravity fed system would work best with them or continuous low pressure like you said. Who did you order the bad ones from?

It was Worldwideshop.

These are WAY bigger than the horizontal ones. I'll try to take a scale photo when I get home. They have a weird connection that don't look anything like the horizontal ones.

Thats a good point about them freezing.

Stromberg is the supplier for these. I would expect that they would freeze in the winter since the nipple waterers do.
I don't think that shavings can get into them. They should be a bit higher than that.

My nipple waterers didn't freeze at all.
