A Convenient Watering Solution for Backyard Flocks

Keeping poultry supplied with fresh water is essential, especially during warmer New Zealand weather.

This automatic poultry waterer uses a simple gravity-fed system to deliver water from the bucket into the four drinking cups. As the water level in a cup drops, more water is released automatically.

The 10-litre bucket provides a useful reserve for small to medium backyard flocks, helping reduce the number of times you need to refill their water during the day.

Four Separate Drinking Cups

The four cup-shaped drinkers provide access from several sides of the bucket, allowing multiple birds to drink at the same time.

This can help reduce crowding and competition compared with waterers that have only one drinking point.

The bright red cups are also easy for birds to notice, making the waterer suitable for chickens, chicks, ducks and other poultry.

Durable and Easy to Maintain

The bucket is made from durable, non-toxic polypropylene plastic designed for regular outdoor poultry use.

Its detachable components make routine cleaning straightforward. The bucket can be emptied, rinsed and refilled, while the cups can be checked regularly for feed, dirt, feathers or algae.

The pre-drilled holes make initial assembly simple, with no need to measure or drill the bucket yourself.

Why This Waterer Is Different

Open water dishes can quickly become contaminated with dirt, bedding and droppings. They may also be tipped over or walked through by birds.

The Pestrol Automatic Chicken Waterer stores most of the water inside an enclosed bucket and releases it into individual cups only as required. This helps protect the main water supply while giving birds convenient access to water.

Its four-cup design also provides more drinking space than single-cup bucket waterers.

What to Expect

Once assembled and filled, the cups will automatically replenish as your birds drink.

Some birds may investigate and begin using the cups immediately, while others may need a little time to adjust to a different style of waterer. Positioning it near their existing water source can help during the transition.

Water consumption will vary depending on:

• The number and size of birds
• The weather and temperature
• Whether the birds are laying
• The type of feed being provided
• The amount of time birds spend outdoors

Check the water level and drinking cups daily, even when the bucket still contains water.

How It Works

1. Attach the four drinking cups to the pre-drilled openings.
2. Make sure each connection is secure.
3. Fill the bucket with fresh, clean water.
4. Position the waterer on a stable, level surface.
5. Water flows into each cup using gravity.
6. As birds drink and the cup level drops, water is automatically replenished.

Check for leaks around the cup connections before placing the waterer inside the coop or run.

Recommended Usage

The 10-litre capacity is suitable for small to medium backyard poultry flocks.

The exact refill frequency will depend on your flock size, bird type and weather conditions. During hot weather, inspect the waterer more frequently and always provide enough drinking points for the number of birds being kept.

For best results:

• Place it on firm, level ground
• Keep it slightly raised above loose bedding where practical
• Position it in a shaded or sheltered area
• Check the cups every day
• Replace the water regularly
• Clean the entire waterer routinely

Where to Use

Suitable for:

• Backyard chicken coops
• Covered poultry runs
• Chick rearing areas
• Duck enclosures
• Lifestyle blocks
• Small poultry sheds
• Temporary or portable poultry setups

Place the waterer somewhere your birds can reach easily without blocking doorways, nesting areas or feeding stations.

Care and Cleaning

Always use fresh, clean drinking water.

Rinse the bucket and cups regularly to prevent dirt, algae and bacteria from building up. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals that may damage the plastic or leave unwanted residue.

Keep the waterer out of prolonged direct sunlight where possible, as heat can affect water quality and encourage algae growth. Protect it from freezing conditions and store it under cover during severe weather or when it is not being used.
