Designed to make chicken keeping simpler and cleaner, it provides a continuous supply of fresh water on demand with no more dirty bowls or daily refills.

Custom freeze-resistant drippers, featuring internal copper components, help reduce buildup and resist freezing when used with a supplemental heat source. The low-profile, wall-mounted design keeps water off the ground and out of reach of debris, ensuring your flock drinks from a clean source every time. With its durable construction, simple installation, and thoughtful details like a lid port for an immersion heater cord, The Chicken Fountain saves time and effort year-roundgiving backyard chicken keepers one less chore to worry about.The Chicken Fountain keeps flock water fresh and clean year-round. It saves time eliminating the chore of daily refilling and scrubbing of traditional waterers. It encourages natural, upright drinking posture for healthier birds and is designed and built in the USA for durability and peace of mind.

Q: How to make sure the water doesn’t freeze in this product for the winter
3 days ago1 Answer
- A: Depending on where you are in the country would dictate this :). We have products on our site that we recommend including an immersion heater and a heated hose. You can also use heat tape with a normal garden hose. In some climates it is also necessary to wrap the arms in pipe insulation. There is a video on our site that demonstrates the setup, and if you email us, we're always happy to talk with you regarding your specific setup.3 days agoHelpful?
Q: Do you know what pex fittings I would need to purchase to connect it to pex system? Also, what size is the hose adapter?
9 days ago1 Answer
- A: The hose adapter is 3/4" GHT for a standard garden hose so you would need male 3/4" GHT on one end and then whatever dimension for the connection on the pex system. Something like a SharkBite Swivel 3/4" Pex Crimp x 3/4" Ght.9 days agoHelpful?

Q: Can I connect this to a bucket on the outside of the coop instead of to the hose?
4 months ago1 Answer
- A: Yes! You can use this with high or low water pressure, 1-100 PSI. The bottom of the bucket would need to be mounted so that it's higher than the top of the Fountain.4 months agoHelpful?
Q: Can the water get too hot in the summer? I know the water can come out of the hose hot. How do I keep it from being too hot?
4 months ago1 Answer
- A: Hi Rebecca! There are a few things that help with that. We recommend mounting the Fountain in the shade if possible and as close to the spigot as possible so you can minimize the amount of hose that is laying out across the yard in the sun (even better would be to be able to have a shorter hose - like use a splitter at the spigot and have a short hose to the Fountain and then your normal hose for day to day). If your setup requires a lot of exposed hose, cover it with mulch/leaves or bury it a bit if possible. Also, a frozen water bottle in the tank or just an occasional handful of ice if you're worried about it being too warm.4 months agoHelpful?
Q: Would this work with ducks??
5 months ago1 Answer
- A: Hi! We have customers that have in the past, but it would require a different dripper than the standard one that we send. If you'd like to explore it for ducks, please reach out to us so we can talk with you first. Thanks!5 months agoHelpful?

Vacation peace of mind
7 days ago
Just what we needed. Neighbors watch our chickens while we are on vacation. The chicken waterer gives us peace of mind. No need to wash out waterers and refill. We don’t feel like we are asking too much of the neighbor.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Good idea - cheap design - cheap parts
a month ago
The basic concept is excellent. You connect a garden hose, the reservoir fills automatically, and six chickens can drink through the nipples without constantly dirtying an open water bowl. It is simple to install, keeps the water off the ground, and should eliminate a great deal of daily filling and cleaning.
Unfortunately, I am disappointed in the construction—especially considering that this waterer costs approximately $100.
My biggest concern is the cheap garden-hose connection. A metal hose end must be screwed directly onto plastic threads. That is a poor choice for an outdoor farm product that will be connected, disconnected, bumped, and pulled by the weight of a hose. It would have cost very little to install a brass or stainless-steel threaded fitting or bulkhead connection. Instead, the plastic threads feel like an obvious weak point that could eventually cross-thread, strip, crack, or begin leaking.
The internal valve and plumbing components also contain a considerable amount of thin, lightweight plastic that does not inspire confidence. Tractor Supply identifies the main material as HDPE, but I cannot find anything stating that it is UV-stabilized or UV-protected. Here in Texas, that matters. If the plastic is not properly protected from sunlight, I expect it to become brittle and begin cracking within a couple of years.
The fountain may operate exactly as intended, and I genuinely like the concept. However, at this price, I expected heavier construction, a metal hose connection, and clear confirmation that the plastic was designed for years of exposure to sunlight and outdoor weather.
I hope I am wrong about its longevity, and I will update this review after it has been outdoors for an extended period. For now, it feels like a very good idea built with materials that may turn it into a product that has to be replaced every two years.
No, I do not recommend this product.
