Practical chick and poultry drinkers made of durable polypropylene (PP) with a secure twist-lock bayonet closure. Available in capacities of 1.5, 3, 6 or 12 litres. Thanks to the integrated supports on top, the drinkers can be placed upside down for filling. The 12-litre version features an especially sturdy metal carrying handle.
These chick and poultry drinkers are suitable for the daily supply of drinking water to chickens and other suitable poultry. The practical twist-lock bayonet closure securely connects the water container to the drinker base.
Easy filling thanks to integrated supports
A special feature of these drinkers is the integrated supports on top of the water container.
These allow the reservoir to be turned upside down and placed on a level surface for filling, without having to hold it in position.
To fill the drinker, release the base by twisting it and fill the reservoir with fresh drinking water. Then refit the base and secure it using the bayonet closure.
Once turned upright, the drinker can be placed in position. As the birds drink, water flows from the reservoir into the lower drinking trough to replenish the supply.
Secure twist-lock bayonet closure and practical carrying handle
A short twisting movement connects and locks the water container and base together.
The drinkers feature a carrying handle that also allows them to be suspended using suitable mounting equipment.
Special feature of the 12-litre version: It has an especially sturdy metal handle designed to support the greater weight of the filled water container.
Four sizes to choose from

The stated diameters refer to the footprint of each drinker. This is particularly important when selecting a suitable drinker heater.
Use with a drinker heater
During the colder months, suitable drinkers can be combined with a compatible HEKA drinker heater.
The actual footprint of the drinker is the deciding factor. The bottom of the drinker must rest completely and securely on the heater without extending beyond its edges.
Important: For the 12-litre version with a footprint of 35 cm, heater compatibility must be checked separately. Standard HEKA drinker heaters up to 33 cm are not large enough for this version.
Drinker heaters are sold separately and are not included.
