Once we were able to get the jug to seat properly with the base this waterer worked pretty well. It seemed that the jug lip was too wide to fit in the groove where sealing rings is. We have 20 chickens and 2 ducks. This waterer kept the ducks from making the water undrinkable for the rest.

This is a fantastic product for ducks because they can rinse their bills but not play in the water. I have two that I have been using for about 6 weeks and am very happy with them. It holds a good amount of water is relatively easy to clean.

I just started to using it this week - the temps are 20 degrees at night and so far, so good. The chickens and ducks are both drinking out of it. It stays much cleaner than a regular heated waterer. I will be ordering a second one.

I purchased this heated duct waterer for you son. Hoping to make caring for his ducks easier. We stopped using it after a few days. Went back to carrying buckets. The container has a poor cap design that is difficult to seal. The plastic button is has a very weak connection to the cap and broke on second attempt to position the container on the base. Without the plug connected to the cap the container must be completely empty to remove the plug. Definitely not worth the cost.
