"Despite the mounting hardware making me wary, the tube works without leaks. Took the chickens less than a minute to figure it out. I tapped the water with my finger until one of them pecked me and realized there was water in the little cup and then the others came over too."
"Poor design in so many ways. Water "bucket" that they drink from screws into the tube, but it doesn't screw in straight, so it leaks nonstop. Plus, when the tube is full of water, the pressure of the water doesn't allow the bobber mechanism to work properly, so it never stops feeding the "bucket" so..."
