Poultry Water Cup Problems 

Try cleaning them regularly. It's not rocket science. It doesn't need the cage attachment. Just drill a hole and screw it in. NEVER had a single issue with mine and I have 20 of them. Thanks for the vid.

We just set up a water System with this red cups and we star having problems already the quail just step on top of the cup and the water won’t stop popping out thank you for this video

Thanks bud! Exactly the problem I've been looking to fix!

I am hoping to get quail very soon. I am trying to finish up the cages this week. This look alot better than the older ones. Thanks

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 info to take preventive measures.

Thank you so much for this video!!❤️👍

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. Lol thanks for sharing

Nice tips.

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

Thanks my friend nice video ✌️

Thanks for the tip.

Do you have a video in which installation of your preferred cup is demonstrated? Thanks.

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

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.

Thank you!!

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

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

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 used to have some red ones that had a "float" valve that was adjustable and no yellow thingie, but haven't found them again, anywhere. kinda like the white one .

i get a Health Ledger Joker vibe from you.... i like you so far.

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😊

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.

How to fixing the process ant how to get that product

Been using the red / orange water cups for several hundred hens for a year. never had a problem with them. Wamego Valley Farm

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 :(

I have the red ones hooked to a 55 gallon plastic drum and they keep my chickens keep tearing it off so I have to put something up on there

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. (it's in the shade, no algae, couple drops of chlorine or vinegar to keep it clean. The red ones screw into a pvc T in a pipe. but the white cups look pretty good to.

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

Your alternative cup also has it's faults. I've had many of them break the posts off the sides of the cups. They either fall off or they tilt and water runs all over. I've had both cups and right now, the problems I have are with your alternative cup.

Amazon does not have these where else can I find them?

the red ones don't work at all for me, every time i look the cup is empty the chickens just don't hit the little yellow thing

My quail seem to be more macho the only problem I have is they keep throwing their empty beer cans at the cat 🤔

could you please provide the link to buy the white cup

Hi bro nice idea wonderful how to get please share on which shop

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 have 2 of those red ones, ones perfect. The other constantly leaks. Not from where it attaches to the bucket but from the yellow lever. I even took it apart and cleaned it. Still leaks like a faucet and leaves my chickens without water! I might try these!!! Is there no way to attach it to a bucket?

The site only sells them as a pack of 6? Is there any other option? I only need 2-3.

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.

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 have the red ones . They work great . Like he said don’t use the ones with the yellow peice in it

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.

We bought the red ones and touching the yellow button does not do anything! You have to push it directly up and in for anything to come out. We have tried different water pressures and everything. So frustrating. Thanks for the tip.

Can an egg prop up that white cup and make it leak?

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

how do you attach these to a bucket? what’s the size of the attachment thing?

I think the white ones have the same problem, once the bowl getts feed on it it will pull down, once the feed gets wet it gets really heavy, and there will be no water once they finish the little bowl.

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.

What happens when a quail pushes the cup up will it keep adding water and over flow?

The problem I see with both of these here is stagnation of water. Have you just tried the poultry nipples that have no cups? what do you think of them? Do they clog open too?

Can we see it in use

white cups unavailable on Amazon link. Can they be obtained any place else?

Can it be attached to a bucket?

Can you attach these to 5gal bucket?

I had the same problem with the white ones. My fix was just to put the waterers on the outside of my cage so they can’t walk over it.

How do you clean these cups and how often?

Do u think the white one would work for rabbits

Are you opposed to the red nipples that I use on my chickens? If so, why?

Didn’t see a link

Everyone is out of these type. Any idea when you might get some in?

The only time it leaked so bad is when I had a quail lay an egg in it. Lol. I have them

Never had a problem with are red ones but ok

Looks like your quail feeding method not pretty good thats why you have problems with red drinking cups.

Damn it! I just ordered those.

How many quail will one cup adequately provide water for

When I clicked on the link to get the cups I got a message from Amazon that they were no longer available--and they didn't know when they would become available again.

How do you stop them from freezing?

have to take them apart and clean them every once in awhile

water cups not available any more, what happend

Meh, unavailable on Amazon now, think I'll go with something else.

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

These cups suck. I watched the video. Bought two packs set them in my quail breeding cages. Everyday I come into water all over the floor. They jump on them it spills. They root there heads under the cup lifting it up enough to make it pour out. They are spilling on average 3 gallons a day. Everyday. I have moved them around the cage. Done everything I can. These just suck

just looked on Amazon... "currently unavailable "

I tried this solution (white one) and I do not recommend it. The hens and ducks lifted the cups so often that the water was constantly flowing and spilling into the coop. Horrible mess.

You didn’t show the setup

What if so much feed gets in the cup that it shuts the valve off and you don’t have any water?

White is ok.

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.

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.

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? 🧐

So you don’t do the correct maintenance to the birds cages and instead you blame a product that you are supposed to keep clean? 👍

Turning out to be junk

They're a waste of money. They drain a bucket in minutes....

Not even gonna watch the video. NEITHER! Any sort of CUP is a bad idea. NO matter what brand or concept, they all have the same problem, they get nasty dirty and you have to keep cleaning them. not to mention that in winter time the freeze. Forget all that and just use horizontal nipples.
