A chicken bell drinker, also known simply as a bell drinker or poultry bell waterer, is a type of watering system designed for chickens and other poultry. It provides a continuous supply of clean and fresh water to the birds. The name “bell drinker” comes from the bell-like shape of the water container.

How They Work:
– A bell drinker is a suspended bell-shaped container with a small cavity at the bottom.
– The container is filled with water, and as the birds peck at a trigger or a stem located in the cavity, the stem moves upward, causing the bell to swing and release water.
– The birds can then drink the water droplets released into the cavity and collect around the rim.
Benefits:
– Clean Water: Bell drinkers are designed to minimize contamination, providing clean and hygienic water for birds.
– Easy Access: Birds can quickly peck at the trigger to release water, making it convenient for them to access water as needed.
– Reduced Spillage: The design of the bell drinker reduces water spillage, helping to keep the litter and environment dry.
– Conservation: Water wastage is minimized because water is released only when birds peck at the trigger, reducing unnecessary consumption.
– Suitable for All Ages: Bell drinkers are suitable for chicks, growers, and adult birds, accommodating different bird sizes.
– Less Maintenance: Compared to open water troughs, bell drinkers are less likely to get contaminated, reducing the frequency of cleaning and maintenance.
– Less Disease Risk: Clean water and reduced contamination help maintain bird health and reduce the risk of waterborne diseases.
