Deluxe Heated Hen Hydrator Nipple Chicken Waterer

Clean water on demand—without the ice chisel. The Deluxe Heated Hen Hydrator keeps flock water flowing in real winter, with thermostatically controlled, UL-listed components rated to -10°F. A UV-shielded, translucent bucket lets you check levels at a glance, while the twist-locking, sloped lid helps deter roosting and makes cleaning fast.

Who It’s For

Backyard keepers who want a low-mess, freeze-proof watering system for adult chickens using nipple drinkers.

Key Features

• Freeze protection to -10°F: Thermostatic control powers heat only when needed.

• 3-Gallon capacity: Fewer refills; translucent body for easy level checks.

• UV-protective bucket: Helps reduce algae growth.

• Twist-lock, sloped lid: Quick access; discourages roosting; easy to wipe clean.

• 4 side-mounted nipples: Each supports up to ~4 birds (plan for up to 16 adults total).

• Hang-friendly handle: Ergonomic design + Little Giant® Bucket Handle Grip (Model #166713) included.

• Ready out of the box: Fully assembled.

• Power: 65W, 120V with 6-ft cord; UL-listed electrical components.

How to Use (Keeper Playbook)

1. Hang at eye level for your birds so they peck the metal pin comfortably (height varies by breed).

2. Adult birds only. Nipple drinkers require beak pressure; not for chicks.

3. Training tip: Remove other water sources and tap each nipple so droplets form—once a few learn, the rest follow.

4. Keep it filled; top off before deep freezes for best performance.

Safety Notes

• Plug into a GFCI-protected outlet; use outdoor-rated cords if needed and keep connections dry/off the ground.

• For winter reliability, place out of direct wind; do not operate if the bucket runs dry.

• Inspect cord and nipples periodically; replace worn parts as needed.

Care

Rinse and wipe the bucket/lid; occasionally depress each nipple to flush. Avoid harsh abrasives. Store dry when not in use.
