Using poultry drinkers in poultry farming is an easy thing to do, but buying the right ones in the first place can be a little tricky. There is such a wide variety of chicken drinkers available that it’s natural for one to get confused at the time of purchasing. Keeping few handy tips in mind at this time can go a long way in simplifying the decision-making process. Let’s find out the little details that can make a big difference in buying and using chicken drinkers:
Add Splashes of Colour to Your Farm Did you know that bright colours attract chickens, particularly the young ones? So instead of buying chicken drinkers in dull and drab colours, try buying these in vibrant colours like yellow, red, green, pink, orange, etc. The benefits will be twofold; while the brightcoloured drinkers will draw the chickens to drink water from them time to time, the drinkers will also add colourful beauty to your poultry farm.
Construction: Plastic or Galvanised? Plastic and galvanised metal drinkers are two of the commonest types of poultry drinkers available. Which one should you opt for? Each of these have their own usage benefits. Plastic chicken drinkers are pretty cheap to buy. But these tend to get easily damaged in the freezing cold temperatures when kept outdoors. If indoors is where you plan to use the drinkers, then plastic poultry drinkers are ideal to buy. On the other hand, galvanised metal chicken drinkers are comparatively expensive than plastic drinkers but they are durable even in very cold temperatures, this makes them perfect for using in the outdoors.
Easy to Install and Clean Depending on how big your poultry farm is and how many birds you have on the farm, you may have to buy several drinkers to ensure sufficient water availability for every bird. You should give priority to buying drinkers that are easy to install or place around the farm. Drinkers that have complicated installation needs cost you unnecessary time and efforts. Drinkers that are simple and easy to install are often simple and easy to maintain too.

Another important quality for a chicken drinker to have is that it should be easy to clean. You will have to clean the drinkers regularly to keep removing any debris and dirt in order to prevent any germ build-up. This is critical for maintaining proper hygiene for the drinking water of your poultry birds. Buy chicken drinkers that you can easily wash and clean on a regular basis.
Robust and Efficient Design The design of the drinkers that you buy should be smart, robust and efficient. The drinkers shouldn’t be easily toppled over by the birds even if they are empty. They shouldn’t get cracked or damaged if the birds peck on them. The chickens shouldn’t be able to easily perch on the drinkers or contaminate the water with soil, debris, dirt, etc. The size of the chicken drinker should be large enough to hold enough water.
