How to Use a Dine-A-Chook Chicken Drinker 4 Litre with Lubing Cup
Using a Dine-A-Chook Drinker is straightforward:
- Mount to timber or steel using the hooks or brackets and screws supplied.

- Press down on the float to start filling the Lubing Cup reservoir.
Our exclusive Dine-A-Chook float ensures your chickens always have water as long as the unit is filled. No mess, no leaks.
Installation Tips
- Mounting: Fix the unit to timber or steel using the supplied hardware.
- Height: Position the waterer so that even the smallest bird in the flock can access the water.
- Location: Consider placing the drinker in a shady spot, as water heats up if left in the sun all day.
The average hen can drink up to 500 ml per day. Water consumption varies with age, breed, and diet. Consider a second waterer if your flock is greater than four birds.
Rinse the Lubing Cup under running water every time you fill the Chicken Drinker and clean it 2-4 times a year.
