Verified Reviews for Insulated Stay Clean Chicken Drinker

This chicken waterer is the best product we have purchased. Clean water and easy to refill.

We've had chickens for about six years. Love 'em. However as fun and entertaining as they are, they do have their issues...like totally messing up their water station. Entertaining the Omlet Insulated Stay Clean Chicken Waterer. It does exactly what it says...stay clean! What's more the girls took right to it. Such a great, practical design.

I have recently purchased this for my girls and oiginally set it up with the cups. We dont get really cold weather here in South Australia but it does get really hot. First morning after setting it up and the cups were completelty empty. We only have 2 Chooks at the moment so have changed to the nipples....and success. Thank you for great invention, no more green slimey water

The Omlet Automatic Waterer is yet another why-didn’t-this-exist-sooner invention — especially for the Australian summer. It’s insulated, which means I no longer spend my day playing human ice machine, repeatedly topping up water with ice cubes just so the chickens don’t end up drinking warm soup. Their water stays cooler for longer, and my sanity stays intact. The design is genuinely clever. The bucket stays clean and free from debris, the shape somehow discourages the local cockatoo demolition crew from knocking it over, and the smooth top stops the chickens from turning it into a roosting perch (and, inevitably, a toilet). It’s sturdy, balanced, and clearly designed by someone who understands chickens, heat, wildlife, and gravity. Simply put: brilliant waterer. I won’t ever waste my money on cheaper, inferior options again — this one has ruined all other waterers for me. 💦🐔

The Omlet insulated waterer is a chicken favorite! It is aesthetically pleasing, easy for my chickens to drink from and easy for me to monitor the water level. The ability to include either/both cups or nipple waterers is fantastic. This makes it flexible for multiple bird varieties (ducks, chickens, geese, etc) The lid locks on and the handle makes carrying the waterer a breeze. If you are in freezing temps, make sure you get the water heater as well and keeping your chickens hydrated will be a breeze.

I'm very impressed with this. Everything has been thought of. I'm hoping the feeder will compliment it.

Love the omlet waterer. It was easy to assemble and my flock took to it right away.

For anyone that is using old fashioned plastic gravity water dispensers or dishes that get tipped over, water dirtied with algae and muck from the chooks, or heat up in summer to the point where it isn't good for your chooks, then the Omlet Waterer is a must purchase. Yes, it is not cheap. But unlike those plastic water gravity dispensers that claim to be UV treated (but still eventually warp or get brittle and then crack and fall apart within 1-2 years) the Omlet Waterer will last you for many, many years. It is built to last, and last in harsh conditions. I introduced it with only nipples which my chooks had never seen or used. I spent some time training them and they sort of got how to use them. I really wanted to use nipples to remove any ongoing cleaning and maintenance. After a few weeks, I just wasn't happy that my chooks had worked it out (there is a water gauge, so I knew how much water was, or in this case wasn't, being consumed). It's probably easier if chooks have been reared with nipples waterers. So I relented and replaced one of the 3 nipples with a cup. Immediately they were all crowding around it and using it for the next 3 minutes. From then on, I saw the water level dropping regularly so I knew they were using it. The Omlet Waterer is clearly built to last. It is solid and sturdy. No flimsy handles or handle joins. Lots of thoughtful design choices, such as the sloping lid to stop birds climbing on top (or accumulating dirt), and when the handle pivots to vertical it locks the lid on to prevent anything from somehow pulling it off. The entire unit feels like it is all at least 10mm thick to maintain constant water temperature and not be as affected by outside temperature, wind, sun, as normal waterers. My Omlet Waterer gets a few hours of direct morning sun in summer, but the water never warmed up or discoloured like other waterers. All my other waterers would need to be fully disassembled in the kitchen and washed and scrubbed to remove algae and dirt build-up at least once every 6-8 weeks. Time will tell how often I have to clean out the Omlet, but so far, I don't expect to have to clean the insides more than once every few months, and I suspect that will still be unnecessary. The only part I will need to clean is the water dispenser cups as no-one has worked out how to get chooks to wash their beaks before drinking 🙂 A small amount of dirt slowly accumulated in the cups, but it sinks to the bottom of the cup and so the chooks are still accessing clean water. I suspect I'll be fine giving the cups a quick hose out when I refill the Omlet Waterer. So, what more could you want with a Chook Waterer? Well, for those that don't have power available, then this is as good as it need to get. Possibly the only extra feature worth having is a hose attachment so that it can stay connected to a water supply and never need manual refilling. For those that do have power available, or just like 'smart' devices like I do, then any combination of the following would be handy (but not necessary): * Water gauge sensor - that reports water level (or water remaining) * Water temperature sensor - even though it is thermally insulated, those in more extreme environments would probably rather know, than guess or have to keep checking * Water pH/Hardness sensors - OK, this is getting extreme, but there will be some that have to treat their local water supply to be 'best' for their chooks. * Water heater (already available) - for those in extremely cold locations, a heater to prevent water freezing may still be necessary. This is the best water dispenser I've owned. My chooks free range and on the hottest days of summer, I need to make sure there are waterers is various accessible locations around my property for them (and other wildlife) so I'll definitely be getting at least 1-2 more of these Omlet Waterers!

have tested this down to 0° now & it's been a game changer! i have about 60 chickens so that's a lot of water to be lugging around. these cut all of that out!!

It has a great durability. It has been in teens here at night, the cups do freeze however, if you pour some fresh water, they pop right out. It’s easy to fill and carry. I love it much more than a typical water.
