Medium Automatic Poultry Drinker

Product Overview

The medium automatic poultry drinker is the middle size of the dome-style floor waterer range, built for growers that have outgrown the chick drinker but do not yet need the large model. The orange-red plastic dome stands 11 cm tall on an 18 cm round base, and slotted drinking channels around the lower ring hold a constant water level as birds press the inner valve. It sits on the floor or litter with no pipes, hanging lines or tools required.

At 94 g and packed 200 pieces per carton, this medium drinker is light, cheap to ship and easy to stock, which makes it a steady seller in feed shops and poultry supply networks. Its compact footprint fits brooder corners, grow-out pens and small backyards, and the automatic valve means water stays available without hourly checks by the farmer.

Key Features and Benefits

• Automatic level control - the valve keeps water in the ring slots at a set depth as birds drink, reducing waste.
• Compact 18 cm base - fits neatly in small pens and brooder corners where floor space is limited.
• Grower-sized 11 cm height - matches the reach of young growers moving from chick equipment.
• No installation - fill, seat and place; works in any coop, pen or yard without plumbing.
• Light 94 g body - one-handed lifting makes rinsing and refilling quick during daily rounds.
• 200 pieces per carton - dense packing suits wholesale restocking and mixed container orders.

Materials and Quality

The drinker is injection moulded from smooth plastic that wipes clean easily, with rounded slot edges that protect growing beaks. The dome shell keeps its shape when full, and the internal valve stem opens and closes evenly so water does not run between drinks. Each unit is tested for valve action and checked for clean moulding before packing, and the sealed cartons keep the drinkers clean during sea freight. The smooth shell also means feed dust wipes off with a damp cloth, so the drinker looks fresh even after weeks in a dusty grow-out house. The orange-red shell is also easy to spot on light bedding, which speeds up the evening check around the pen.

How to Use and Maintain

Fill the dome with clean water through the top, fit the base, and place the unit on flat ground in the pen. Refill when the ring slots drop low, and rinse the dome and base every couple of days in warm weather to stop slime. Keep spare units dry and indoors, away from direct sun, so the plastic stays flexible for years.

• Use settled or filtered water so sediment does not jam the small valve.
• Place drinkers where every bird within a short walk can reach water. Place extra units near the feeder too, so growers drink while they eat instead of making long trips across the pen.
• Step up to the large automatic drinker when the flock grows past this medium size.

Applications

This medium automatic drinker suits pullet rearing houses, small layer farms, duckling grow-out yards and backyard flocks in the growing phase. It is also sold by feed shops as part of grower starter kits together with feeding barrels and heat equipment.

Distributors stock it as the mid-size option between the small and large automatic dome drinkers, and the 200-piece carton mixes well in containers with Plasson bell drinkers, feeders and transport crates. Because the three dome sizes share the same design, customers can expand their flock without changing their watering routine. Smallholder farmers raising replacement pullets also choose this medium size because it sits neatly inside brooder corners without taking floor space from feeders or nests. The orange-red shell is also easy to spot on light bedding, which speeds up the evening walk around the pen. The compact footprint also suits brooder corners where floor space is precious and every single centimetre really counts on the farm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Which bird age is this drinker for?

It suits growers and young adults that have outgrown chick equipment. Very small chicks start on the small automatic drinker, while full adult flocks prefer the large model. This middle size fits the weeks when growers need the most daily care.

Q2: How often do I refill it?

The automatic valve keeps the level constant, but a small reservoir needs topping up once or twice a day in warm weather, depending on flock size and temperature. In cool seasons the same fill can last through the whole morning.

Q3: Can it be used outdoors?

Yes, on drained ground. Keep it out of direct rain pools, since standing rainwater can overflow the ring slots and soak the surrounding litter, which can lead to caking and odour in the pen.

Q4: How many per carton?

The medium drinker packs 200 pieces per carton. Mixed cartons with the small and large dome drinkers can be arranged by our sales team, and sample cartons are available for distributors who want to show the model to local farmers.
