CTCF-3647 Applelady 3647 Pet Feeder Bottle 1 Litre/Tempat Minum Ayam
Key Features of the Applelady 3647 1L Feeder Bottle:
Automatic Watering: It works on the principle of gravity and vacuum. You fill the bottle, screw on the base, and invert it. As your pets drink from the trough, the water level drops, and air enters the bottle, allowing more water to flow out. This provides a constant supply of fresh water.
1 Litre Capacity: The size is ideal for a small flock of 3-5 chickens or a couple of other small animals, reducing the frequency of refills compared to a simple bowl.
Durable Plastic: Made from food-grade, BPA-free plastic that is lightweight, rust-proof, and easy to clean.
Transparent Design: The clear bottle allows you to see the water level at a glance, making it easy to know when it needs a refill.
Secure Base & Trough: The red base (a common color for this model) screws on tightly to prevent leaks. The trough is designed to minimize spillage and keep water cleaner than an open bowl.
Hanging Hook & Stand: A key feature of this model is the versatile mounting options:
It has a built-in hook for hanging inside a coop or cage.
It comes with a stand (usually red or white) that allows you to place it on the ground at a comfortable height for the animals, keeping it more stable and out of the bedding.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
Keeps Water Cleaner: Reduces contamination from bedding, dirt, and droppings compared to an open bowl.
Saves Space: The vertical design is efficient for small coops or cages.
Prevents Spillage: Much harder for animals to knock over and spill.
Easy to Install and Use: Simple to assemble, fill, and hang/place.
Inexpensive: A very affordable and practical solution for providing water.
Cons:
Capacity Limitation: For larger flocks (e.g., 10+ chickens), a 1-litre bottle will need refilling multiple times a day, especially in hot weather. Larger models (e.g., 2-gallon/7.5L) are better for big coops.
Can Freeze: Like all plastic waterers, the water will freeze solid in winter unless a heater base is used.
Requires Cleaning: The trough can still get dirty from beaks and need regular rinsing. The bottle should be cleaned weekly to prevent algae or slime buildup.
How to Use/Assemble:
Unscrew: Separate the clear bottle from the red base/trough.
Fill: Fill the bottle with clean, fresh water.
Reassemble: Screw the base back onto the full bottle tightly.
Invert: Quickly turn the entire unit upside down. The water will flow into the trough and stop when it reaches the rim.
Place: Either hang it using the built-in hook or attach it to the provided stand and place it on a level surface.

This product is perfect for:
Backyard chicken owners with a small flock.
