Easy to use, easy to install, works great!
Works very well for our chickens, geese and ducks. Very simple and straight forward to use. Drilled hole in 5 gallon bucket installed the feeder and filled with water. Automatically refills. You do have to clean out every other day or so. We live in a desert environment and have a lot of sand. So it will start to fill with sand. But very easy to clean. Make sure you leave a vent if you are using a bucket with a seal in it. First time using it I closed the lid tightly and it wouldn’t flow after a day and had me worried, but second I open the lid it started filling again. Saves in water waste also. Simple to use, have bought more since first purchase.

Worth it to keep chickens watered.
These are awesome. Built to last. We are at 4 months having these. They are wide not as deep as the red one that you see in the picture. But the red ones didn't last they wouldnt shut off when they filled up. You do have to clean where the spring is at but I shoot them with water and clear out any dirt. Super easy.

These work great!
These work great! Our lavender and chocolate Orpingtons are apparently too dumb to use the ones where they have to peck at the metal nozzle/nipple(?). (They're nice enough birds, but they don't get the concept, I guess) They took to these immediately and have started drinking more water than they were from the typical bird waterers. I don't understand why, but this was also really helpful for putting in our chicken tractor. We'll be getting these from now on!

Wish I'd gotten these sooner
I currently have 5 backyard chickens in Arizona, where the summers can be brutal. My chickens go through a lot of water in the summer months! I had a large gravity-fed watering system that worked decently, but it had a couple of annoying issues: (1) the 360-degree water trough would also get filled with debris that dirtied water; and (2) the plastic container was constantly getting algae or something similar - really a pain to keep clean. And as I discovered, both the container and the base (both plastic) succumb easily to the Arizona heat. I was shocked at the price for a new one.So what about these watering cups? Well, I bought a bucket and lid from Lowes, drilled holes, and had my new watering system up and running in a matter of minutes. No leaks, and the water inside the bucket has managed to stay pristine, meaning better water for the chickens and a lot less cleaning time for me. The little cups do get some dirt in them, but a quick rinse with the hose seems to solve the issue. Other than that, these are working flawlessly. My chickens did take a day or so to figure these out, but that is true when introducing anything new to chickens.One quick tip. I recommend installing these low down on your container. I made the mistake of installing mine 6+ inches from the bottom of the bucket. This means that once the water level dips below that 6" mark, water can't enter the watering cups. Put these down low, then use bricks or something similar to elevate the bucket/container to a good drinking height.2 months in with these now, I'm wishing I'd bought them sooner. They do seem a little expensive - the only reason for rating these only 4 stars. Other than that, I highly recommend them.

Easy to install and doesn’t leak!
Great product and a great price! We installed these in a 5 gallon bucket almost as soon as they were delivered. No leaking and super easy to install! The fit was perfect using the 3/8 drill bit and our chicks and ducks figured out how to use it very quickly!

Easy
Works great. Easy to install. Chickens are drinking out of it. I only used 4/5 because I only have 4 chickens at the moment. Figured I’d keep one as a backup if one of my bumhole chickens decides to use it as a trampoline and breaks one I’ll have a spare. Installed them on a 5 gallon bucket. Followed instructions. Was not difficult.

Plastic threads don't tighten down fully, allowing leaks.
This is a good waterer. Good size, easy to use, not bad for cleaning, and a simple install process. The problem I have is that the plastic threads on some of the cups (or the wingnuts) is a little loose. When you attempt to tighten the cups fully (so they don't swivel on the water container and leak) the thread slips as you give the final torque to hold the cup tight. If the threads had a tighter tolerance this would be a perfect watering cup.It uses a gravity feed to keep the cups full. The silicone valve in is spring-loaded, when the cup is full the weight of the water closes the valve. The cup itself is made of a very durable, thick, plastic. The value and tubing plastic is not as durable as the cup itself and as I say in the title, the threads sometimes won't hold. I've been able to mitigate the problem with an extra silicone washer. In general, my experience is that 1 in 4 won't tighten fully.Cleaning could be hard since the cups are fixed in place. I've found that cleaning is much easier when using a dish-cleaning sponge mop (like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Touch-Kitchen-Glassware-Sponge-Handle/dp/B09QNQJ7XH). Pressing the sponge mop fully into the cup, then rotating a couple of times pulls out any debris. A little algae may form at the top edge of the cup near the valve. I've found that the best control for that is a bit of apple-cider vinegar. You could use a small brush to scrub it instead, but I haven't found that necessary.This is a good poultry waterer. If it had more secure threads, then I would say it was perfect!

Product as described.
Product worked great. I was able to connect to a standard 5 gallons of water bucket and chickens were drinking before I finished filling it up. I wish they could tilt up allowing the bowels to be flushed as they fill up with dirt from the chickens but they are easily washed with a hose.
