Duck Hanging Cup

Product Overview

The SL-121 duck hanging cup is a lightweight drip-catching cup that clips onto an automatic duck drinking line and sits under the nipple to catch shake-off water. Its flat, shallow tray measures about 8.5 cm by 7 cm, small enough to stay out of the birds' way but large enough to catch the drips released when a duck pulls its beak off the pin. The whole cup stands about 13 cm tall from the pipe to the bottom of the tray.

This model is moulded in bright yellow, a colour that contrasts clearly with the red nipples and white pipe around it, so farm staff can count the cups and spot missing ones during a quick walk-through. The straight hanging arm keeps the tray centred under the nipple. It is a simple, low-cost drinking accessory that suits starter and growing duck stages as well as smaller breeder setups that do not need the extra-large bowl.

Key Features and Benefits

• Flat shallow tray - the 8.5 cm by 7 cm dish catches drip water without blocking the ducks' reach to the nipple above.
• High-visibility yellow - the bright yellow cup stands out against red nipples and pipe, making line inspection fast and reliable.
• Straight hanging arm - the vertical arm holds the tray level and keeps it centred below the drinking point.
• Low cost per position - as a simple snap-on accessory, it lets farmers upgrade a whole drinking line without replacing the nipples or pipe.
• Compact 13 cm height - the slim profile suits houses where the drinking line runs close to the ceiling or to feed tracks.
• Simple one-piece moulding - the arm and tray form one solid piece with no loose parts, so there is nothing to lose during cleaning and reinstallation.

Materials and Quality

The cup is made of yellow engineering plastic that flexes slightly on installation and returns to shape, rather than snapping. It is resistant to the common disinfectants used between flocks and stays stable under cold drinking water. Because the model has no metal parts, there is no rust risk around the nipple and no sharp edges to cut ducks that brush against the line. Each batch is checked for consistent tray depth and clamp grip before packing. The bright yellow pigment runs through the whole plastic rather than sitting as a surface coat, so a scuffed edge still shows the same colour and cannot fade into a pale stripe that ruins the group-coding system.

How to Use and Maintain

Open the top clamp, hook it over the drinking pipe under the chosen nipple and press until it locks. Confirm the tray sits horizontally, directly beneath the pin. During routine walks, tip the tray to clear any mash, feathers or droppings that collect in the shallow dish, because a blocked tray loses its drip-catching purpose. At turn-around time, wash the cups with mild disinfectant, check the clamp still clicks firmly, and refit them at the same spacing for the next flock. Because the tray is shallow, it never holds more than a thin layer of water, so ducks cannot bathe in it and waste water; empty it only when feed mash or droppings have collected, rather than after every drink.

Applications

This yellow hanging cup is typically used on lines for starter and growing ducks, where water consumption is moderate and a small tray is enough to keep litter dry. It also suits small breeder flocks, backyard duck pens with a raised pipe line, and farms that want a low-cost upgrade for an existing nipple system. The yellow colour is useful in houses with several drinking lines, because one glance tells staff which line has been checked.

It fits both deep-litter systems, where caught drips mean drier bedding, and slat-floor houses, where collected water should stay off the platform and drain cleanly. Distributors often stock this cup as the entry-level duck drinking accessory alongside nipples, since new duck farms usually order the small-tray version first and can move up to the big-bowl cup later when their flocks grow heavier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How is this cup different from the big-bowl duck cup?

This SL-121 tray is smaller and lighter, suited to young and medium ducks, while the big-bowl model offers a 12 cm dish for heavy ducks. Choose the small tray for starter flocks and the big bowl for finishing and breeder birds.

Q2: Does it fit standard round duck drinking pipe?

The clamp is designed for the common pipe used on automatic duck nipple lines. If your pipe is non-standard, send a photo of the pipe and we will confirm before dispatch.

Q3: Can the yellow colour fade in sunlit houses?

The plastic is chosen for house conditions and stays yellow through a normal flock cycle. In very sun-exposed open pens, check the trays at turn-around time and replace cracked pieces.

Q4: What packing quantity is available?

We pack these cups for export cartons and can advise the exact carton count on quotation, together with combined loading with nipples, clamps and other drinking parts for your container.
