They had no problem using this and it keeps the pine shavings out of the water. I glued it to a 4x4 piece of wood so they couldn’t knock it over when the chicks were bigger and just added wood blocks under to raise it as they grew. Easy to fill from the top. No mess. I wish I would have had this before when I brought home chicks. It’s the only way to go!

The little door part of the top no longer is the proper size being a little bit smaller by a fraction than it used to be, I have about 15 or so of these and the five or so that I have ? purchased recently. Have you ever asked my friends who have purchased these recently and they all say no matter where it ships from the tops are being manufactured with the door portion being too small. Not sure why the tops don’t stay opened anymore, it’s really annoying to have to hold the tops open while u fill and if one accidentally tipped over for a split second while you’re working, the top just flies open, and all of it glugs out instantly instead of staying snuggly tight Keeping most of the water inside the container and then you only get a dribble or two.

If you’re planning on using water nipples in your coop, this is the perfect water system for your brooter to teach your chicks how to use this, so when they get into the coop, they have no questions on how to find their water. It is a perfect size for a brooter with a smaller amount of chicks. It performs beautifully. There’s no leaking. This is the only water system I will ever have for my brooter. I also use it when I have a sick chicken in the house so that they know where to get their water from and you don’t water all over. We do have to place a cup underneath the water system because we had a few crazy chicks one time and they would pull it right out of the spring so that it went everywhere. Their chips were always wet so my only recommendation is to put something sturdy underneath to hold it up off the ground so that those crazy chick can’t knock it down, and it is much sturdier.

My only complaint is I wish the bottles were more see through so we could see the water level line without having to walk up close to check it. And they came with the floaters to see the water levels. (the little ducks or turtles that float inside the water bottles) - and if they sold a bag of replacements of them as well since we lost a bunch down the sink drain.Love the top fill options. Makes it easier for us to just fill a pitcher with spring water and refill their bottles that way. Also like that the bottles are on the outside of the cage so they don't climb, chew and make them fall over like some other ones we had in the past.We went through several different types and brands and this is by far the best.They have different mouthpieces also that you can buy separately depending on what works better for your pet or which type of animal you have. (remember just because it says it's for chickens for example doesn't mean that it won't work great for your rabbits too)We got a bunch of the x shape mouth pieces. The cross tip kind for our guinea pigs and they work great. We got the bowls for the babies until they were strong enough to use the cross tip kind (since there's a small bead up in there - like a ball point pen) that they have to push on with their teeth or tongues and the babies aren't strong enough at birth. The bowls work for a little bit for that, but then we switch right back to the cross tips because the bowls get very dirty and there's no way to clean them out without having to dump the entire bottle out. And with spring water we don't like to waste any of it.& Not all of my bottles came with the spring loaded holders, which sucks because I really really like them. They attach to many different types of cages, C+C, regular rectangles, chicken wire, outdoor huts, and the pens like shown in pics.*Helpful tip - if your bottles are leaking or your cage is wet from your piggy 'playing' with the water bottles, try putting the bottles at a higher height. Most rodents, guinea pigs especially, should be lifting their head/chins up to reach the water spicket. If it's level with them and they are tilting their heads on an angle to get it, it makes it easier for them to lay there and chew and play with. The water should be running down their throats, not pouring out the sides of their cheeks.!!!(you might find an off brand similar bottle with an orange cap instead of a red one... Not much difference at all, except the lid wears out faster so it doesn't click down super snug after a couple uses. It's slightly thinner cheaper plastic I think that's why. Cheapest option for us was to buy these ones in groups of 2)!!!+Return/exchange policy is great &+ so it shipping and packaging!!

Let me explain my review, as my ratings ranged from 2-5 stars. I had such high hopes for this for my chicks (with the main goal of getting them used to this nipple for when they’re in the coop).For the positives: It definitely keeps the shavings out of the water, which is great, and the chicks took to it fairly easy. It was easy to install and I imagine it will be easy to clean (short of sludge getting into the nipple).For the cons: it leaks which is completely frustrating for something I had such high hopes for. The entire area gets saturated with water because the chicks are hitting the silver tab so much and not able to catch all of the water that comes out when that tab moves. I have it propped up on wood that’s stacked and that wood is now completely wet. I placed a paper towel down and it’s completely drenched 4-6 hrs later. This isn’t good when you’re supposed to keep moisture away. Also, the lid to my container is not really secure (doesn’t really latch).
