Poultry water cup

[Bitofablonde]

Hey there, looking to upgrade our water system. We currently have a large 5 gallon waterer in the run with our 2 ducks and 10 chickens. We also have the duck pond and large bowl for water. But with nice weather finally appearing here in western WA we are starting to plan our camping trips for the summer.

We are looking at switching to poultry water cups like this, any use this kind before? Does it work ok for ducks? Other suggestions?

Thanks ya'll!

I tried the red Rent-a-Coop water cups like these. I personally did not like them because we had issues with them overflowing or failing to fill at all. I never could figure out what was wrong.

Having said that, I know that a lot of people really like them and have good experiences with them. I would expect them to be good for ducks whereas the nipples I suggest for chickens would not be.

@poultryprofessor thank you for the feed back it is greatly appreciated! Definitely agreed that the little nipple water systems don't work well for duckies.
