Miller 2500 Game Bird Automatic Poultry Fount - Red - Each, Price/Each

This automatic waterer is perfect for my backyard chickens. It is a very well thought out design and is quite sturdily made. The installation was quick and simple, and the bowl is very easy to keep clean. Upon initial instillation, mine leaked a little bit so I emailed customer service and they got back to me right away. It turned out that the water control valve simply needed to be tightened a little bit. The valve is a standard Schroeder valve and will be easy to replace if it ever becomes necessary.I expect this product to last for many years. I highly recommend this waterer.

I bought this device to use as a dog waterer for my outside dogs. It is a source of constant fresh cool water for the dogs. It works well but had to be adapted to fit directly to a hydrant.

Works great

This is a amazing product. It works amazing in our chicken coop and brooder. Only way to go from now on this is a complete time and effort saver if you have chickens.

If you don't want to flood out your chickens, you will need to have a drain or draining system. This doesn't fill and then stop. It overflows and drains into your coop or run. Design flaw.As all farmers do, we continue the design process for lazy product engineers.As you see in photos, I made a simple lift and overflow drain system.1 plastic bowl (think dollar store)Pea gravel (or larger rocks would also do)2 plastic strawsSome low temp hot glue (to seal around straws)When the overflow reaches straw level, it will drain outside of the run. The rocks help keep straws in place and help to level the water bowl.Also, you'll need a spacer for the top cover if you buy it (sold separately and highly recommended) so the birds can get their head inbetween. I went to the plumbing store here called Grover's Plumbing, showed them what I needed and they found all the right pieces to space and screw together the whole ensemble.Overall, it's decent and compact and provides a constant supply of water. Make sure you do not full blast your hose into it, as the inner valve is not rated for city water pressure. I have mine on a very slow trickle and it keeps the bowl full and overflowing.It was definitely more work and cost than I expected. It's NOT a plug and play item. You will need to fix the overflow issue in design flaw.

Need more detail on how to install. Should emphasize that the bowl must be hanging to operate properly. Should include the fitting required to apply to a hose. Should include extra valve cores, as I had to change the one supplied, it was defective. Why not make a stand for application of the product? There is one available for the larger size product? This is A GOOD PRODUCT and adding all the necessary components at a reasonable price would increase sales. Make it easy on the consumer. Applied the product to a gravity feed food grade 55 gallon barrel and it is working great. No more worries about the hens running out of water.
