Pros: The screw lid makes it easy to refill. It's compact size/shape makes it easy to use anywhere. The material is very easy to clean and its wide mouth makes it easy to clean the whole inside.
Cons: The jug part likes to pop off when carried by the lid. It does not have the carrying handle that the previous model of this waterer had. These waterers don't do well in colder climates as the base tends to crack when frozen.
This is the updated model of the waterer that used to be sold. It's very similar the previous model with the exception of no carrying handle. The screw-on lid's threads are not as tight as the previous model as the jug part will detach from the lid when carrying by the lid while full. The previous model didn't have this problem and could easily be carried by the lid with no problem.
When comparing this to the hanging gallon waterer, this waterer is the better waterer. The screw-on lid makes it very easy to refill and is less likely to leak, unlike its hanging counterpart.
The gravity fed watering system works very well when on a level platform. The waterer is very simple and easy to clean all around. This waterer works best for chicks or for a few chickens. Due to its size, it's not meant for large flocks.
Pros: It provides a chance to hang your chickens ' grain without their waddles getting caught.
Cons: My chickens likes to take the grain out the feeder and have the grain on the floor causing grain wasted.
My chickens waddles have never got caught in this feeder, but the chickens waste a lot of grain with this feeder. I started giving them grain in a crock-pot and they haven't wasted any grain.
I've tried another hanging feeder that was plastic, and one of my hen's waddles got caught on it.
I've enjoyed using this small feeder for chicks. It fits good in smaller coops. Sometimes I need a small feeder to fit between chicks and waterers. This small feeder is perfect.
