The bell drinker is an automatic waterer for broilers, layers and other chickens raised on the floor. It hangs from the roof and connects to a water line. When birds drink and the cup gets lighter, the valve opens and refills it, so water is always fresh. It is made from tough plastic and helps keep litter dry. As a guide, 10 to 12 bell drinkers serve 1,000 adult birds, or 12 to 14 in hot weather.
