All-season Heated Poultry Waterer

Built-in heater keeps water unfrozen

$62 BUY NOW

This waterer does its job well—which is providing access to fresh, clean water. Nothing fancy.

The built-in heater keeps water unfrozen during the cold winter, while the detachable cord is one less thing to trip over during warmer months.

Folks like our heated waterer because of its:

Large capacity (3 gal)
Secure, interlocking lid
Heavy-duty handle for carrying and hanging
Recessed side-facing nipples with drip-catch base
Detachable 16 ft cord for non-winter use

What others have said…

★★★★★ — FreshExchange.com — Best Heated Chicken Waterer of 2021

There is a lot to love: It is easy to fill. The capacity of water is wonderful so you don’t have to fill extremely often depending on your flock size. Not to mention it will stay mostly clean with the no-roost lid. Plus, this system can last through all the seasons if you detach the cord and use in the summer. There is a reason this is our top pick. No stone has been unturned with this heated chicken waterer.

★★★★★ — Gayle B from New Hampshire

This waterer kicks butt. It's perfectly designed. After wasting money on 2 other types that barely made it through one winter due to breakage of thin plastic parts in cold weather, cords breaking, being impossible to clean, this one has solved all those problems. My chickens were able to figure out the nipples just by me pressing with my finger when they saw the water dripping.

Determine the optimum capacity needed. This is dependent on the number and size/age of the birds and how often you prefer to fill the feeders or waterers. Refer to our helpful comparison charts.

Tips for dealing with stubborn birds who won’t drink:

Once the first chickens begin drinking, others will follow.

1. Remove all other sources of water. Place the new nipple waterer in the old waterer’s location.

2. Bring a bird’s beak directly to the nipple waterer and flick the nipple. You may have to activate the nipple with the bird’s beak to demonstrate the new water source. (See video.)

3. Place a sunflower seed in the drip trough. When the bird pecks at the seed, it will discover the new water source.

4. Use a red laser pointer to direct chickens to the nipple. Similar to house cats, our chickens will chase and follow the red light. (This was inadvertently discovered by our photo dept and is now our go-to method for getting camera-shy birds to cooperate.)

Keep your chicks warm this winter

Two of our customer favorites!

Prima Heat Lamp

Common heat lamps are often blamed for barn fires, scorched wool and overheating. The “Prima” is better in every way—strength, safety, protective guard, and hanging system.

Used to warm chickens, ducks, puppies, lambs, goat kids or for any animal that is sick or cold. Combine with a heat lamp stand for hanging about poultry brooders.

Heating Plates for Chick Brooders

An alternative to a heat lamp. Less of a fire risk. A heating plate simulates a hen keeping chicks warm and cozy beneath her feathers. The rugged plate cover (optional) prevents older chicks from perching on top and fouling the unit with droppings. The plate can be hand-washed to remove dust and debris. 4 sizes available.
