Three drinking stations for a bigger flock
Three complete 4L twin cup drinkers — the drinker most New Zealand coops start with, three times over. Mount them in different corners of the coop and run and every bird has somewhere to drink even when the top hen is guarding one of them. 6 Lubing cups between them, 12 litres of sealed, shaded water, and a mounting kit for each. The pack works out about 10% cheaper than buying 3 singles, and like every order on our New Zealand store, delivery is a flat $22.95.
How long 4 litres lasts
An average hen drinks around 500ml a day, and up to a litre when it is genuinely hot or she is laying hard. So each 4 litre drinker is roughly two days for four hens in mild weather, and the three together a day or two for twelve to sixteen hens across three stations. In a heatwave, halve that and check it morning and evening.
Litres and cups are two different things
The litres decide how often you refill it. The cups decide how many birds can drink at the same moment. Two cups, so two birds drink at once without one standing over the other. Neither number is a flock size. If you want to fill a drinker once and leave it for the week, look at the 20L drum drinkers or a mains pressure drinker that never needs filling.
Why the water stays clean
An open bowl is dirty within the hour: a hen stands in it, scratches litter into it, and the sun grows algae in it. Here the water sits in an opaque, closed container and only ever reaches the bird through the cup. Rinse the cups when you refill and the flock is drinking what came out of your tap. Clean water is the cheapest thing you can do for laying and for keeping parasites and gut problems out of a coop.
How it is built
| Body | UV-treated ASA industrial thermoplastic — it does not go brittle or crack in the sun the way PVC does, and it keeps light off the water |
|---|---|
| Water contact | Lead-free and BPA-free. No glue, no adhesives, no internal screws to rust |
| Cups | Two genuine Lubing cups, made in Germany, each with the Dine-A-Chook float upgrade |
| Filling | Top-filling in place, with a lock-on lid, lid hook and carry handle |
| Mounting | Built-in moulded hooks on the back, plus a mounting kit of two steel brackets and four screws |
The float is the part that does the work. It refills each cup automatically as the level drops, so the birds always find water at the same height instead of having to press anything. They do not need to learn a mechanism; most flocks are drinking from it within the hour.
Where to mount it
On any solid wall: timber, sheet metal or masonry, using the brackets and screws in the box. Set the cups about level with the back of your smallest hen's neck; taller birds dip down. Put it in the shade if you can. Cool water is what the birds want on a hot afternoon, and shade slows algae. For a wire-mesh coop, contact us about the stainless wire mesh mounting kit before you order.
Where to put them
Spread them out. One inside the coop and one in the run, or one at each end of the enclosure, so dominant hens cannot guard both at once. Each drinker mounts on its own brackets and fills in place, so siting them apart costs nothing in convenience. Just want one? The single 4L twin cup drinker is the same unit.
