Description
Product Overview
The Premier 1 Supplies heated poultry waterer is a durable, 3-gallon capacity solution designed to provide clean, unfrozen water for your birds throughout the year. It features a 100-watt heating element controlled by a built-in thermostat that activates when temperatures drop below 40°F and turns off at 60°F, ensuring water remains accessible without becoming hot. Constructed with robust materials, this waterer measures 13 x 13 x 14 inches and weighs 6.3 pounds, making it sturdy enough for daily use. The product includes three recessed nipples that minimize contamination, a heavy-duty handle for carrying or hanging, and a detachable 16-foot electrical cord for flexibility in non-winter months. Ideal for poultry keepers seeking reliability and ease, it supports up to 35 adult chickens and can accommodate ducks trained to horizontal nipples.
Usage
This waterer is perfect for backyard coops, small farms, and homesteads where maintaining water access in freezing conditions is essential. Use it during winter months to prevent ice formation, or detach the cord for year-round hydration. It’s suitable for adult chickens, and with training, ducks can also benefit—though providing an additional water source for submersion is recommended. Place it on a stable surface or hang it using the handle, and consider adding a rubber pan underneath to manage any leakage and protect coop floors from moisture. The quick-fill cap allows for easy refilling even when the lid is frozen, ensuring minimal disruption during inclement weather.
