Two drinking stations for a bigger flock
Two complete 1 gallon twin cup waterers. Mount them in different corners of the coop and run so your birds have easy access at all times. 4 Lubing cups between them, 2 gallons of sealed, shaded water, and a mounting kit for each. The pack costs less than buying 2 singles, and it ships free to the USA with import duties prepaid.
How long a gallon lasts
An average hen drinks around a pint (500 ml) a day, and up to a quart in hot weather; how much a hen drinks depends on breed, diet, weather and other factors. Allow a pint (500 ml) of water per bird per day: for 2 hens one gallon waterer lasts approximately 4 days, and with 8 hens it will need checking daily. Check your waterers regularly.
Gallons and cups are two different things
The gallons decide how often you refill it. The cups decide how many birds can drink at the same moment. Two cups, so two birds drink at once without one standing over the other. Neither number is a flock size.
Why the water stays clean
With a trough or tray, chickens walk in it and climb on it, which means dirt, mud and droppings in the drinking water. Here the water sits in an opaque, closed container and only ever reaches the bird through the cup. Rinse the cups when you refill, rinse them under warm running water weekly, and give them a full clean every few months. Never boiling water, never the dishwasher. Keeping water clean helps reduce disease in the chicken coop.
How it is built
| Body | UV-treated ASA industrial thermoplastic — it does not go brittle or crack in the sun the way PVC does, and it keeps light off the water |
|---|---|
| Water contact | Lead-free and BPA-free. No glue, no adhesives, no chemicals |
| Cups | Two genuine Lubing cups, made in Germany, each with the Dine-A-Chook float upgrade |
| Filling | Top-filling in place, with a lockable lid and carry handle |
| Mounting | Built-in molded hooks on the back, plus a mounting kit |
The float is the part that does the work. It refills each cup automatically as the level drops, so the birds always find water at the same height instead of having to press anything. They do not need to learn a mechanism; chickens take to cups quickly. Watch the flock for the first few hours to make sure the smallest bird can reach the water.
Where to mount it
Mounting kit of steel brackets and screws for wood or metal. Mount it so the cups sit at eye level for your smallest bird. Always monitor for the first few hours so you can ensure the smallest bird in the flock can access the water in the cup; if not, lower it slightly. Put it in the shade if you can. Cool water is what the birds want on a hot afternoon, and the body blocks UV to help keep algae down. For a wire-mesh coop, contact us about the wire mesh mounting kit (sold separately) before you order.
Where to put them
Spread them out. One inside the coop and one in the run, or one at each end of the enclosure, so every bird has easy access at all times. Each waterer mounts on its own brackets and fills in place, so siting them apart costs nothing in convenience. Just want one? The single 1 gallon twin cup waterer is the same unit.
