I am leaving a review for the product I posted so I can share my experience. I was looking for the "yeti" of waterers, so tired of changing waterers several times a day during the summer to keep them cool. I experimented. Most of my waterers are two gallons, so I filled the Lilfount with 2-gallons and with two frozen water bottles - the same as my waterers for the comparison. All waterers in the shade. 93 degree day with a heat index of 96. My waterers performed as they usually do, at 3 1/2 hours, water becomes warm. The Lilfount kept water cold for 14 1/2 hours until it started getting warm.

I have two of these. They are nice and big, well made and sturdy.

While this is a bit pricey, I really like the product. We have gone through a time period where we are not getting a lot of sun, but, they are still working well. We have them on the corners of the runs at about 2 1/2 feet up. They blink pretty brightly all night long.

It didn't take my hens long to figure out how to get their mealworms from the poppy. I love watching them do it. Some just tap it and others try to push it down. It is well made, comes in only two parts and has held up with the ones who hit is hard.

I bought this in the summer of 2022. I have 6-chickens in this coop and 3 in my other. It is a nice coop, and the hens like it and have their favorite nesting boxes. It is also very easy to clean, except the bottom tray. I have mine up two feet on a solid table. In order to secure the coop, it blocks the ability to get the bottom tray out. I work around it. Also, I have two large Australorps and one cannot get up on the roosting bar if she isn't one of the first ones in because they are too close together.

I like this product and believe it helps the hens get the egg shells they need but some will not eat it because it is a little to big.

My birds love this feed and act like it is also a treat for them. I know it is a little expensive, but, I think it is worth it

I have two Australorps in my flock. They are both very sweet and even though they are big, they are not bullies. They chase the silkies around a lot, but they don't peck them when they catch up to them. They were the last to lay in my flock - even the silkies laid earlier. I cannot let my chickens free range, I have a hawk issue; however, they have a 40x40 foot covered area, but, if you are free ranging, they are the bird to get - they look like a crow which is good to deter hawks.

I have two barred rock hens in my flock. They both do not mind being held and sometimes that is the way I get them to "tone down" their volume. They were the first to lay of the flock and consistently lay where they are supposed to. I really love them and their personalities most of the time. However, they are not consistent. My poor littler than them speckled sussex is scared of them because one minute they want to be "friends" and the next overly peck her multiple times. They do the same thing to the three silkies.

This is a great idea and I like the versatility and ease of the product, and the clips provide extra space, however, it is near impossible to get it clean because of its design. I just know there are areas that are not getting clean.

I bought a pack of three for my flock of 11. They are high quality and stay relatively clean, however, my birds are scared of them. I thought maybe they would "grow" out of it, but they have not.

This is not the companies fault, but mine. My outdoor storage leaked and during a rain, one of my Prozap containers got wet and was unusable. I used the other one that was not wet. It is very easy to use, goes a long way and is not irritating.

I like the size and shape of this feeder. I also like the quality. The legs work well and keep the feeder off the ground. I have not used the anti-roosting bar, as my chickens do not try to walk or sit on the side of the trough. I don't know how long it will last but I bought mine about 6-months ago and it is still in good shape with no rust.

I purchased at Tractor Supply. It works well for a dust bath station and the girls like it.

I use VetRx when my chickens sneeze, or it looks like they may have a cold. I liken it to Vicks vaper rub for humans. At the same time, it does appear to “clear” mild upper respiratory issues. I think it should be in any chicken keepers medical inventory.

I have a flock of 11. I was supposed to have 3-speckled Sussex hens, but 2 ended up being roosters. All three are very calm, extremely friendly, and easy to care for. My hen, Lucy, is too nice and ends up being low on the pecking order scale, only above the 3- Silkies. She is a good egg producer and started laying at 20-weeks.

I love this product and saw a difference in energy after the chicks drank it. Using it gives me reassurance they are getting the vitamins they need. Taste is not an issue in my opinion, thus, the need for a separate water station should not be necessary, however that is only my experience. I think packaging could be improved. if you choose to use less in a package, it is difficult to store the opened package.

This is a must for your chicken first aid kit. I use it for cuts to reduce/mitigate infections. It is very effective and easy to use. Thus far, it seems to store well also.
