I don’t know how I managed before Britetap!! I have a lot of flocks, mostly sorted by color, but also a lot of roosters and I try to keep at least 2 water sources in each coop, plus another source outside in summer. I have bought at least a dozen Britetaps, so far. I still have some cup waterers but they need to be cleaned a couple times/day and as soon as a bird bumps a cup, it drains up to 5 gallons onto the floor! I just got a smaller cooler, maybe 1.5 gallon and I can’t wait to try that with chicks! Anyone who’s ever raised chicks knows they constantly trash or drain their water sources even worse than adults! They will probably stand there and tap it to drain, but can’t drown in it and it would take a lot of tapping!! AWESOME product and REALLY AWESOME customer service!! Only one faulty tap (around the 9th one purchased over time - and they had a replacement to me in a few days plus return label!! Hint: if adult chickens can’t learn to use despite many different lessons & approaches, just tap a couple of times for chicks/juveniles and they will teach the adults!! (Good excuse for adding a couple of chicks, too!)
