Little Giant® Automatic Poultry Fount | Game Bird Fount | Heavy Duty Plastic | Waterer Bowl with Hose Attachment | 2 Pints

I’ve used these for over a decade now. Just recently bought a few more. They’ve always worked well for me. They do really some cleaning regularly and just checking on them. But they have held up well. The internal parts are Brass and this won’t break. Dish is plastic but it’s been indescribable. Using this on a high pressure system with a pressure reducer so the chickens have water continually.

Love this water system, my chicks have fresh water 24/7, so easy to set up, clean and no more worrying about them running out of water.

The media could not be loaded. Initially this product worked phenomenally, exactly as advertised. I didn't have any issues going with the 1/2 to 3/4 connection because I had buried some PVC from my faucet to the chicken coop area - you can see in the picture that the bowl is filled and no water is flowing = working perfectly.Fast forward a few days and I go into the run to a huge puddle of water .. Upon further inspection the bottom of the brass flow valve just continued to slowly drip (video). So even after gravity pulled the spring to stop the water from flowing, the tip continued to flow ... The birds can't drink the water fast enough to get it to stop.Really disappointing.UPDATE:I went a purchased valve cores and a valve removal/replacement tool at autozone, similar to this: Slime 20088 4-Way Valve Tool with 4 Valve Cores, once replaced the unit no longer leaks. Not sure if they use subpar parts or what ... but it now works and I have extras. The whole fix costs me $3 with tax.

I've been using this for many months now. It's an awesome product except for an issue I had and a few other reviewers...so be prepared. The quality of the base product is great. It takes a while to set up due to adjusting the internal adjustment nuts. This probably needs to be done no matter what due to different water pressure depending on your region. After a few days, I had issues with it getting stuck "off" and not filling. I readjusted and it worked for a day...then stuck off. After playing with it for a while, I discovered that the needle valve on the inside end was sticking. Manually, it didn't, but when released slowly (as in when water filling) it would stick. Thankfully, I have the correct tool to remove the needle valve core (same as car or bike fill valve). I replaced it with a one a spare car wheel I had sitting in my garage. It's been about 3 months since and no issues. Looking at the original valve, it is cheep. When pushing it in/out the needle doesn't stay centered and probably is dragging on the side when installed.

I had the smaller version for about 7 years. It worked great, with proper cleaning and routine maintenance on the water stem, my chickens always had water. I have about 30 chickens and it seemed to be sufficient for the flock. I have mine set up on a 50g barrel. The only reason I'm buying another is my goats got in my chicken pen and rammed it to pieces.

Could not get the shut off spring to work, no matter how it was adjusted.Found a better product that worked right out of the box.

i hesitated to purchase this because i read reviews that it doesn't always work but i really wanted to try because it seemed like the most practical waterer out there.sure enough, mine arrived but had a leak above the control tube cap on the stem assembly. i contacted Miller and they immediately sent me a replacement stem assembly. works like a charm and was worth the extra effort.

So far so good on this watering bowl. We had been filling another waterer up and packing to the chicken pen. It was becoming a real pain. We bought this and made a watering system with plastic barrel. Now they have fresh water that automatically fills the bowl. It was extremely easy to hookup. Wish we would have done this months ago
