High Capacity Silo Poultry Waterer - 12 gallon

The all plastic construction is very light-weight and easy to move when empty. The design uses a float, which means that I can open the top and fill with water without it overflowing or having to empty it first. My chickens are usually nervous around new objects, but when I put water in it, they quickly started using it! My only complaint is that the instructions are mostly pictures and used for two different sizes, so I had to double-check to make sure I was using the right pieces in the right places. But I put it together correctly on the first try, and it's working great! We'll have to see how it stands up to freezing temps next winter...

I bought this waterer over two weeks ago. It's only weakness that I can identify so far (besides the crappy instructions) is that the lid is flimsy and the little orange pins that hold it on, break easily and results in the lid keeps blowing off, even in mild wind. Also, the plastic locking tab does not lock well on the lip of the waterer. I ended up buying metal pins for reinforcing the lid's hinge and use a clip to keep the lid tab engaged with the lip of the waterer. The next version needs to have a better designed lid with a better hinge and locking mechanism.
