You know the watering cup for chickens was a good idea but here at RentACoop, we’re not about making good ideas – we’re about making great ideas. This is why we decided to create our own version of the watering cup.

The first thing we had to address is getting rid of parts that always end up breaking, then design something reliable and chicken friendly.

Your cup also works as the valve so when the water is drank up by your chickens, the cup weighs less, lifts up, and allows more water to flow in.

Once the cup has refilled, the weight of the cup closes up the valve. Now your chickens have fresh clean drinking water anytime they need it.

One of the greatest benefits of our design is your chickens can now stay a little cooler during the hotter months by dipping their waddles in the cup. This not only helps keep your chickens cool, but also helps keep their waddles a little cleaner too. And cool and clean means happy and healthy.

Our watering cups can be used with by gallon buckets, 55-gallon drums, PVC, or even rain barrels. They make perfect waterers for baby chicks – easier to fill and less messy.

How do I assemble RentACoop’s Red Watering Cup?

We sell easy-to-assemble watering kits. Or you can just buy our cups and make your own. It’s as easy as:

  • Drill
  • Tap
  • Tighten
  • Fill

Watch our instructional video to see how. Our watering cup is just another way we can help you keep your chickens happy, healthy, and easy to maintain.
