UCP Blog 014: The Winner of the Avian Aqua Miser Original Waterer

Posted on September 2, 2014 by Jen Pitino

Some months ago I was given a complimentary Avian Aqua Miser to try out with my own flock. I am happy to report that my newest flock members (these are the new birds that I recently mentioned on the show that I got as day-old chicks this Spring) have taken to this watering system very well.

There are many facets of the Avian Aqua Miser that I appreciate. It is a simple to use and durable product. I particularly like that it is easy to re-fill with clean water and is safe to add apple cider vinegar to without worries of leaching toxins (which is a concern with metal waterers). My Avian Aqua Miser does a terrific job keeping the flock’s drinking water clean – having nipples rather than a drinking basin means that it is impossible for the birds to get their water dirty. Yay!

I am very pleased to announce that the winner of the Avian Aqua Miser Original watering system is Tyler Allison of Illinois. Congratulations Tyler! I know you’re going to get lots of good use out of your Avian Aqua Miser.
