Novital Ascott 30lt Poultry Drinker,red/white

It is so big—what great value. It keeps all the mess the chickens create out of their water. Remember to turn the nozzle to the off position before filling; don't be like me, wondering what I'm doing wrong. It is heavy when full, but just use a watering can or hose pipe to top it up. The girls love it, too.

The best invention! Solid, thick, plastic. A simple idea which works for my hens. Saves me running out and filling up their water every couple of days. This will last them a good month at least!! 5 stars for me in terms of product, cost and design very happy!!!

Had it in my basket at £50 it went down to £26 ! Which is a very big bargain for an amazing product. it’s very very large and will be amazing for my growing flock it’s an amazing investment for growing flocks as you won’t have to keep buying more and more small drinkers can’t wait to try it for my chooks 🐔🐔

I needed a drinker that could easily service 30 hens without having to check on it several times a day. As the girls are totally free range and they're often visited by a variety of wildlife, from rabbits to roe deer, who also want water, I wanted a large capacity but liftable solution.I already have a 15 and a 10 litre drinkers but one developed a leak and the other was impossible to fill without using the hosepipe. I saw this and reckoned it would do the job.Bad points:When full it is barely portable unless you are very fit and strong, after all, it does weigh in excess of 33kgs (approx 70lbs) and it only has one relatively small handle on one side.The filling tube, for want of a better word, cannot be fully turned off so it is losing water, albeit slowly, when it is being filled.Good points:Very well made, good quality plastic, not thin and flimsy.Sturdy legs, easily supporting the body any reducing contamination from the soil.Once in situ it can be topped up easily via a watering can, despite water trickling out. I use this method as I don't have running water near my hen-house and I haven't a hose long enough to reach.Despite the box having 'assembly instructions' on it, other than pushing on the legs it came ready for use.Although delivery was quoted as several weeks, it actually came within a few days.

Easy to assemble, robust and sturdy, works well. Very happy!

Wonderful drinkers was going to buy another one but has gone from 38 pounds to 52 pounds

Positive - capacity, holds a lot of water, exactly why I bought it. Sturdy 3 legs, especially when filled with water.Negative - chickens are pretty stupid, they can drink from it but they use the trough in the bottom to clean their beaks after scraping around the garden. This gets dirty quite quickly and festers in the bottom. I found that storing 30 litres of water is pointless, especially in the summer when the water would breed algae quickly and the water funnel turned green. I have gone back to putting out a smaller bowl of water every day to ensure my two chickens have sufficient FRESH and clean water. I will clean this product and use it for say long weekends or a week away when I cannot find someone to put a fresh bowl down everyday. I am trying to things of ways to improve a reservoir idea so the chickens can get fresh water every day without need for me to do it!

Easy to assemble. No fuss. Does what it says. We have 7 hens and this lasts all week or slightly longer. Easy top filling for additives. Makes hen keeping so much easier rather than having to keep flipping over the smaller water feeders
