The Harris Farms Poultry Watering Cups allow you to create your own watering system using a plastic container or PVC pipe. These watering cups come in a pack of 2. Their nipple stems release water only when chickens drink. One cup can accommodate up to 12 chickens. The Harris Farms poultry watering cups can be used with a gravity flow system and they do not connect to a pressure water supply. Chickens will typically train themselves to use these cups in minutes once other water sources are removed. They support both side and bottom mounting. To install, drill a 3/8 in. hole into your desired water source and screw in the watering cups.100% Satisfaction Guaranteed

confusion in other reviews explained...
8 years ago
These cups work terrific. There is confusion in other reviews about the cups NOT refilling after the chicken drinks the water. This is how they work: Chicken pecks at the yellow water trigger and the water flows into the cup, chicken drinks the water. The cups do NOT just refill because they are empty. They are not supposed to. Another chicken comes along, pecks at the trigger, water flows out and they drink the water and then walk away. You may periodically find water left in the cups because the hen did not drink it all before walking away. They only release water when a hen moves the trigger. Not when the cup is empty. Hens will learn where the water comes from and activate the trigger as needed. They do work and they work terrific.

Did not work well.
9 years ago
I bought this product initially thinking it was a float system in that so long as water was available to the assembly, the water level in the cups would remain full until the chickens drank down the level, thereby lowering the float and opening the valve which would allow more water to enter the cups. Well, I was wrong and this is definitely not the case. The yellow stem has a spring on the cup side which holds tension on a rubber O-Ring that's attached to the yellow stem on the back side of the black fitting. So in theory, when "bumped" by the chickens the yellow stem is supposed to cam slightly breaking the O-Rings seal against the black fitting, allowing water to dribble into the cup. It does not work effectively. Unless your chickens grab the yellow stem, pull it up, and hold it there for about 5 seconds, they aren't going to get water. I had four cups screwed into a 5 gallon bucket, and tried varying depths of water over the course of a week from barely above the cup lines at the bottom of the bucket, to as much as 2.5 gallons, but all four cups yielded the same results... always empty. Even manually filling the cups for the chickens was difficult, as pressing down on the stem did very little, and I had to pull up to get any appreciable water flow. These were horizontal mounted, and all troubleshooting, and cleaning was performed. I am abandoning the cups and will try the water nipples as an alternative. I hope this review saves someone the wasted time and disappointment that I encountered.

using poultry watering cuts for quail
15 days ago
after watching several youtube, I decided to try these cups for the quail in my holding
pen. I used them with a 5 gallon bucket. The ease of their installation along with the amount of water held in the bucket, made my watering so much easier.

Might have to show them first
2 months ago
I found this to be a very good system. I put 6 cups on a 5 gallon bucket, put a hole in the lid, dropped a water heater coil in the bucket, snapped the lid on and plugged it in! -5° and they have water. The cups fill when the chickens move the yellow lever, I have 25 chickens and they all seem to be happy taking turns to get a drink. The only thing I can say to the folks who claim the chickens aren’t getting water… I did have to show a couple of my hens how to use it, but they got the hang of it after a day or so and now all works great!

Broke Quickly
3 months ago
The little stopper broke after only a couple months and I wasted so much water before I realized what was going on. I wouldn't get these. It's very disappointing to think i was doing a good thing for my flock and it breaks.
No, I do not recommend this product.
