Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I still need to clean the waterer?
A: The Thirsty Bird uses a fully enclosed system with nipples, so water stays clean longer. We recommend checking and rinsing every few weeks or as needed.
Q: Can I use it without connecting to a hose?
A: The continuous flow system is designed to be connected to a hose. If you need a manual-fill option, check out our original PVC waterer models.
Q: How many chickens can use this at once?
A: Three chickens can drink from the nipples at one time. The system is ideal for flocks of up to 12, but you can also install two for larger flocks.
Q: Can I use the Thirsty Bird in winter?
A: No — the Thirsty Bird will freeze in freezing temperatures. You’ll need to use a separate heating source or a heated waterer during the winter months to keep your flock’s water from icing over!
