1.5 liter Poultry Drinker

Product Overview

The 1.5 liter Poultry Drinker is a compact gravity-fed waterer built for young chicks, pullets and small backyard flocks. A translucent white reservoir sits above a red plastic drinking tray, and water feeds the tray by gravity as birds drink, with no pump, no valve and no electricity required. At only 75.4 grams the unit can be lifted with one hand, and the molded top handle lets a farmer carry it between brooder boxes, coops and transport crates in seconds.

Printed markings show a 14 cm overall height, an 18 cm tray diameter and a 10 cm handle width, so the drinker fits neatly inside standard chick brooders and wire cages without crowding the birds. The barrel and tray separate into two pieces for fast rinsing. This size is suited to the starter phase, when daily water intake is low and frequent cleaning matters more than long refill intervals, and it also works well as a spare or exhibition waterer for small-scale breeders.

Key Features and Benefits

• Gravity water supply - The sealed reservoir fills the tray automatically as birds drink, keeping water available between refills without moving parts.
• 1.5 liter compact capacity - Sized for chicks and small flocks, avoiding long stagnant water cycles in warm brooder air.
• Molded carry handle - The red top handle makes lifting, repositioning and temporary hanging a one-hand job during daily rounds.
• Translucent reservoir - The white barrel lets growers check the remaining water level at a glance and refill on time.
• Two-piece detachable design - Barrel and tray come apart completely, so scrubbing and rinsing stay quick after every refill cycle.
• Light 75.4 g weight - Low weight means easy handling even with wet hands and almost no added load on transport cartons.

Materials and Quality

The drinker is injection molded from plastic in two colors: a translucent white reservoir that reveals the water level, and a bright red tray and handle that make the unit easy to spot on the litter. The seam between barrel and tray clicks together securely, and the molded handle distributes lifting force without flexing. Because chicks peck and bump drinkers constantly, all edges are rounded with no sharp corners. Every unit is checked before shipment so customers receive barrels with intact necks, uncracked trays and clean handles. The red-and-white coloring is chosen for high visibility on dark litter, and the small size of each unit means retail customers can display a whole carton without shelving problems. The barrel walls are thin yet rigid, matching the low 75.4 g weight without giving way under a full fill.

How to Use and Maintain

Fill the barrel with clean water, fit the tray firmly onto the neck, invert the unit and place it on level floor space or directly on the brooder floor. During the chick stage check the water level once or twice a day and refill before the barrel runs dry. To clean, pour out remaining water, separate the tray, rinse both parts and scrub any slime or feed residue from the tray channel; a mild detergent may be used occasionally, followed by a thorough rinse. Keep the drinker out of direct rain and strong sun when used outdoors, and replace it if cracks appear, since a leaking tray wastes water and wets the litter. For brooder use, place one drinker near the corner where chicks gather, and keep the water lukewarm in cold rooms so chicks do not chill after drinking. Refresh the water daily while chicks are small, since spilled feed and litter collect fastest in shallow trays.

Applications

This 1.5 liter drinker is widely used in brooder rooms for day-old chicks and growers, in backyard coops for a small number of hens, and in small duck or quail pens where a smaller water surface helps keep bedding dry. It also suits research stations, breeding farms and educational poultry displays where observing drinking behavior is part of the work.

Distributors can stock it as an entry-level starter waterer that sells naturally alongside chick feeders and brooder lamps. Its 400-piece carton packing keeps logistics cost per unit low, and the small footprint makes it a convenient add-on item for mixed container orders from Hebei Yilu Shunfeng.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How many chicks can use one 1.5 liter drinker?

The tray size and capacity suit a small group of chicks or growers; in commercial brooder rooms it is normally placed one per small pen, and growers should add more units as the flock grows.

Q2: Can it be hung instead of placed on the floor?

The top handle is designed for carrying and temporary hanging, which keeps litter out of the tray. Set the height so the tray edge reaches bird back level.

Q3: Is the plastic safe for drinking water contact?

The barrel uses the food-grade style plastic common to poultry waterers, and farmers should still clean it regularly to prevent biofilm buildup.

Q4: How is it packed for export orders?

Units are packed 400 pieces per carton, which keeps freight cost per unit low; the sales team can confirm pallet and container arrangements for larger orders. We can supply a specification sheet with dimensions and carton weight on request, and our sales team will advise on the most economical pallet arrangement for your destination port.
