More about Plasson® Broiler Drinker
Made of high-impact plastic to withstand the rigors of daily use, the Plasson Broiler Drinker provides a constant supply of fresh water for chicks and chickens. Its fool-proof design allows you to use the same broiler for chicks through the adult stage with no alterations.
The ballast bottle on the Broiler Drinker acts independently of the bell and eliminates wear on the valve mechanism.
Designed to ensure a constant water level and a dry floor, its sensitive system is activated when a bird drinks as little as 1/3 oz. of water. The drinker may be looped in a series for brooding. Eight to 10 drinkers are recommended for every 1,000 birds.
