Thank you so much for this video!!❤️👍

Yup I the red one and one similar to the Wite , the only problem with the automatic it was that they kept turning the cup upside down so the water was running and they were happy playing on the water but it was a problem , so I used glued the cups lol so now is working really good .

Good heads-up. I bought two of those red cups it will have to wait until I have chickens apparently.

Great video. Thank you

I am so thankful to see there’s a different one I can order. My reason for buying them in the first place is so they’d have automatic water except the chicks aren’t pecking it therefore the water is always empty and I have to go out there and fill the cups which defeats the purpose.

Thanks for the tip.

i tried the red ones in the side of a bucket,let the water in and it goes dry and don`t fill up,don`t think the chickens are pushing little yellow down at all

Helps if ya keep them clean. They work fine when maintained.

Thanks my friend nice video ✌️

I am so glad to see I’m not alone in my dissatisfaction with those cups. I will also tell everyone that the yellow thing that the chickens beaks are supposed to fill the cup with didn’t work well when I tried to get them to fill. It sits to low in the cup and hampers the movement thus not allowing much water to run into the cup. I need the kind that will screw directly into a bucket even if they aren’t cups. I just want good quality watering attachments that won’t rust, break or clog up. I have even purchased a pre made bucket watering system that is leaking. I originally purchased the simple style waterer with the metal insert from China when I first started out (they were crap and are still sitting in my barn) I have since purchased American made but still have had issues with both kinds. Help! Do you know a good company that sells well made for DIY systems that run off of PVC. Thanks for your video Appreciate it

I have the white cup mechanical type but red colored plastic they screw into the the bucket with a nut they are great . The red one with the yellow tongue don't work at all

I have a 275 gallon IBC tote set up with a PVC line running off of it into the chicken yard, and there are 8 trigger cups on the line in the coop. Been there for 5 years, never had a problem with it, BUT, it's out in their yard and nowhere near their feed, so the cups stay clean. But if you put them inside a cage where the birds can get feed and crap in them, yeah they'll be jammed up and constantly running in no time.

bought some of the cups for my Quail the nipple keep stopping so hope these work better

I need to know if there is an adjustment on filling the clear cups. I have similar but are red but they will fill full and then run all over. Suggestions please.

I using the one you just recommended And you have to clean them like everyday or just will get heavy until leaking and dirty very fast

Looking for the cups and can't find them. Can you help me out?

I don't recommend the white one I used those cups for long period of time. But it gives me more headache and it's hard to manage and maintain. I will surely recommend the red one although they both same automatic drinker but it will give you less headache and easy to maintain. I used red one for couples of years and I will stick to it😊

haven't had that problem. but I have chickens not quail. the problem I had is my original ones worked great, until they froze. Bought new ones and these seem to need a bit more water pressure. (head pressure) . I feed from a 55 gallon plastic drum. For 13-15 hens I get about 3 months of water before refilling.

I'm using the cups you used to replace the first ones but mine leak like crazy. I've tried to stop it but I guess I don't know how

I've been using the red cups for about 3 yrs now, I periodically ( maybe once a month} flush them out for just a second. I will get the occaional bird that will hop up & sit on one, causing it to run a little extra, but they don't stay up there long. In hard freezes, I drain & water by hand or the free standing water tubs, that is use for new chicks.

I wish I knew how much those red cups sucked before I bought a whole bag of them! Mine only work when pushed from the left side and held open, it's too hot here for my quails to not have easy access to water :(

Weird. Ours works.

Install the cups on your PVC line. Make sure you use Teflon tape. At the end of the PVC line make sure you have a clean out. The biggest mistake I see that people do when installing these is you must have a 5 psi regulator. This is a low pressure system. I hear so many people hooking up the water hose to the end of the PVC line turning on the hose and that is when you will have problems.

You mentioned that the flaw happens when you use it with quail, but what about with chickens? Perhaps it's intended audience is chickens for a reason. Now I know maybe other things can still get stuck up there, but maybe less frequently, due to the how different chickens and quail are.

I didn't try both, but I imagine that you still have a problem with the 2nd one you recommended, if the chicken fills it with enough food it will go down and it will not flush water again until you clean it. I think the drippers are the best solution. let me know if you think otherwise, thanks for the video.

@anotherthing

Each one of them has problems. He's right about the first cup. The problem with his style of cup, which I've used, is that quail have the uncanny ability to knock those cups sideways by climbing all over them or running in to them. This will cause the cup hinge to come loose from the center, and all the water pours out. Nipples have different issues based on their orientation. I've never tried them with quail, but ducks are pretty good at jamming the nipples open.

Or. Buy the red cups and drill in an over flow hole so no material gets intio the valve

You didn’t show the setup

You must be the only one to have that problem. Mine never gave me any problems. They never had feed in them.

I would say that if you claim that food accumulates and jams the fort water cup, then wouldn’t food accumulate in the second water cup and keep the cup in a down shutting position leaving the cups not to replenish with water? 🧐

White is ok.

it really takes seconds per cup. Hose it down to remove all the dirt and crap. There’s also chemical buildup from your water also. I use similar one like in the video and the red fillip cup from RentACoop and never had any problem. People are lazy and don’t clean them at all. You supposed to drill a hole on a 5 gallon bucket or pvc pipe and attached to it. Don’t be lazy and clean them.

If you raising quail this is not the solution for them. The problem with these is the quail will rest or push the cup up consistently and water will overflow to the poop tray and you have a mess. The best solution is the button water feeder. Commerical quail farm use them so they know all the isue.
