The Revolutionary Chicken 16 gallon blue barrel waterer is your answer to keeping your chicken water clean and not having to refill very often. Because it is completely opaque, NO ALGAE can grow in it. It comes with a 2 inch easy-fill plug on the top so you can easily pop it out and stick a hose in. It can also accommodate the cord to a submersible heater (note: the optional heater sold with the waterer goes underneath and is not submersible). The entire lid can be removed as well to make cleaning easy.
You can also get this waterer with two autofill cups on the opposite side, or all with all four autofill cups and no nipples. The cups always stay full with water, so the chickens can dip their beaks in and easily get water–no learning necessary. As the cups get dirt in them, just twist them upside down.
In freezing weather, the cups will freeze–even with a heater. The nipples will still work with a heater. If placed next to a fence or a wall, you can turn the nipples out toward the chickens in the winter, and the cups out toward the chickens the rest of the year.  The cups will work again when thawed.
The optional heater that comes with this water is a heated silicone pad that goes underneath the waterer. The heater will keep the nipples from freezing, down to zero degrees F.
The barrels are made out of food-grade plastic and are used. They are repurposed from a company that makes plant-based supplements, such as green coffee extract (not harmful to chickens). We do clean them inside and out before we ship. Barrels are shipped without nipples installed to prevent breaking during shipment. You just twist them in the holes provided.

We have had this waterer for a few years and it is worth every penny and more. It has held up great. The company also stands by their product and has some of the best customer service I've ever seen! I would not hesitate to buy their products!

First time chicken owner and I bought this! The chickens figured it out within hours and it works great! I have 10 chickens. I also put a piece of copper in the water and I have never had any algae grow! I highly recommend this product. The owner was very easy to work with and prompt to ship!

We just recently discovered Revolutionary Chicken and this waterer. We are very happy with the waterer, and our chickens are also. Our chickens have pretty much abandoned every other waterer we have for this 16 gallon waterer. The product is great, the customer service was great, we will definitely come back to Revolutionary Chicken for future needs.

This waterer was easy to install the nipples and my chickens learned quickly how to use it. The waterer is made out of quality material. I appreciate the hole in the top for easy filling.

Incredible solution for chicken water that’s always gross. We have loved these for several years and have had great dealings with the owner!
