2.5 liter Poultry Drinker with Legs

Product Overview

The 2.5 liter Poultry Drinker with Legs adds a red plastic stand under the standard 2.5 kg barrel drinker, lifting the drinking tray above the floor. The white reservoir printed with 2.5 kg markings feeds water into the red tray by gravity, while four short legs hold the whole unit steady on uneven litter. With the stand fitted the unit weighs 164.2 grams, only a little more than the floor version, yet it solves the common problem of birds scratching litter and feed into the drinking water.

Printed measurements show a 21 cm barrel height, 3 cm leg height and a 22 cm base diameter. The modest elevation suits young growers whose beaks can still reach a tray set just off the ground. Because the tray sits clear of wet litter, water stays cleaner between refills, which matters most in brooder-to-grow-out transition pens where bedding stays damp. The modest 3 cm elevation is the sweet spot for this age group: chicks reach the water easily, yet the tray sits far enough off the floor to cut litter intake in half.

Key Features and Benefits

• Elevated tray design - The 3 cm leg stand lifts the tray off the floor, cutting litter, mud and droppings from entering the water.
• 2.5 kg barrel capacity - Printed 2.5 kg barrel markings match the water needs of small growing flocks between refills.
• Stable four-leg base - The red stand spreads four legs, so a bumped drinker does not tip over during feeding rushes.
• Gravity-fed flow - No valves or pumps; the reservoir keeps the tray topped up automatically as birds drink.
• Easy assembly - The barrel seats directly into the leg-mounted tray, and the whole unit separates for cleaning.
• 200-piece export carton - Packed 200 pieces per carton for economical shipment to distributors.

Materials and Quality

Both the barrel and the leg stand are injection molded in sturdy plastic. The stand legs are thickened at the base so they resist splaying when the full barrel pushes down, and the joint where the tray meets the legs is molded as one piece to avoid weak spots. Red and white coloring follows the same high-visibility scheme as the rest of the drinker range, so farmers recognize the product line at a glance. Each assembly is checked for leg fit and tray seating before packing. The red leg sockets are reinforced where the tray ring meets each leg, which is exactly where stress accumulates once a barrel is filled. Matching colors across the leg family also makes reordering simple for repeat buyers who recognize the stand style instantly.

How to Use and Maintain

Place the red leg stand on a level patch of floor, fill the white barrel with clean water, seat the barrel into the tray and check that all four legs sit flat. Refill by lifting the barrel out, filling it and replacing it; the tray does not need to be detached every time. Every few days, wipe around the leg sockets where dust collects, and rinse the tray channel to remove algae. In damp pens, rake bedding away from the legs so water cannot pool underneath. After refilling, give the unit a gentle nudge to check the legs sit flat on uneven litter, and rotate it a few centimeters so the tray stays level. Rake bedding away from the leg base whenever you turn litter, so dampness does not collect beneath the feet.

Applications

This elevated drinker is chosen for grow-out pens where young birds are learning to use the tray and litter disturbance is heavy. It also suits free-range sheds that open onto muddy yards, since the legs keep water above splashing mud. Small duck and goose growers use it because ducks splash water backward, and the elevated tray reduces bedding saturation.

For retailers, pairing this legs version with the floor version gives customers a choice by pen condition rather than by flock size, since both share the 2.5 kg barrel and refill routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Are the legs fixed height?

Yes, the leg stand is a fixed 3 cm height matched to the 2.5 kg barrel; taller stands for the same barrel are not part of this model.

Q2: Will adult hens reach a 3 cm elevated tray?

Adult hens reach it comfortably; this version is aimed more at growers, and larger leg stands of 8 cm are offered on the 6 to 16 liter models.

Q3: How do I clean inside the barrel?

Remove the barrel from the tray, empty the water, rinse with clean water and use a long brush through the top opening if residue builds up.

Q4: Does the stand come assembled?

The tray and leg stand arrive as one molded unit, so the farmer only seats the filled barrel into it; no tools are needed.
