Function

TO SUPPLY DRINKING WATER FOR CHICKS. WHEN THE FILLED TANK IS THREADED ON TO THE BASE, WATER IS LET DOWN THROUGH A SMALL HOLE & FILLS THE DISH TO A LEVEL JUST ABOVE THE HOLE (PREVENTING FURTHER FLOW OF WATER INTO THE BASE). AS THE CHICKS DRINK ENOUGH WATER TO LOWER THE LEVEL BELOW THE HOLE, A SMALL VOLUME OF AIR IS ADMITTED, CAUSING WATER TO FLOW INTO THE BASE TO A LEVEL ABOVE THE HOLE (LIPPINCOTT, P.416)

Technical

PROVIDES A CONSTANT SUPPLY OF WATER & PREVENTS CHICKS FROM GETTING INTO THE WATER. PLASTIC BASE (UNLIKE METAL BASE) DOES NOT RUST. PLASTIC TANK (UNLIKE GLASS TANK) IS NOT FRAGILE.
