What is the height of this bucket. I have a 5 gallon one that works well, but I hang it under my coop and it hangs too low for the chickens.

It's 10" from the bottom rim of the bucket to the top of the lid rim. The nipples only stick down about 1/4" to 1/2". This is a very user friendly sized waterer. I have 2.

The height of this 2 gallon bucket is 9-1/2" ...Perfect size for many applications ...Works well for my chickens and ducks ...

#1: It took me a while to find the right height - and while I am not sure on the exact measurement - you want the chickens to "reach" up just a little to get to the water. #2: I didn't think my girls were picking up on it at first either, so I would go into the coop a couple times a day and push all the tips up so that there was water on them and sometimes even getting the ground under it a little wet. When the girls would come near, I would make the water drip from the bottom of the bucket so they could see the source. They picked it up within a day or two.

I have one of these in my chicken coop (plastic prefab one) in one of the nesting boxes- it is the only small one that will fit. The chickens prefer to eat out of the other one outside, but when they are closed in they do use it. The only adaptation I did was to put a 1" piece of plastic across the bottom edge (drilled through sides and used a zip tie-trimmed close-- to keep the pellets from getting tossed out as the chickens eat. Saw it originally in a blog about my Formex SnapLock Coop-

It might be a tight squeeze. I really bought it for the depth for small lasagnas, etc. For whole chickens I would use a larger vessel to let air circulate around it (& possible add veggies). Hope this helps

Bucket holds comfortably 6 gallons just below the wringer unit, if you use it without the wringer (which I did) it will hold 8 gallons...

Mine all leaked with just a 5 gallon bucket. These are some kind of cheap knock offs. I bought another set from a poultry supplier and none of them leaked. Even if you get the good ones I'm not sure what would happen with a 30 gallon bucket. Why not just use a bunch of 5 gallon buckets?

I'm not aware of any adjustments. And there's no way a 5 gallon bucket will fit.

Mine's not one gallon, it's a quart size...I hang it on a shepherds hook or use a small eye hook.

What size pots are you wanting to fill? I used to fill a 5 gallon bucket up to about 6 inches from the top. It is enough to plant one tomato plant or as in my case, one potato plant.

I do not have it where I can get to it, but it fits ina 5 gallon bucket. 8-10 inches at most. It works great.

If you get the smaller version, yes, I think it would, but it must stay submerged, this size would generate way more heat than you need for a 5 gallon bucket, and since you just want to keep it from freezing, not keep it warm, a smaller version would seem appropriate. I use this size to keep 100 gallon comfortable for outside tank in winter in my greenhouse.

This is in a crawl space under my house. My plumber installed it. The cement bucket it sits in is larger than a 5 gallon bucket. Sorry, this is new territory for me. If I find some information that will help you I will let you know.

I just saw this but I will measure when I go home but I think itis too tall. We modified ours by adding a bigger perch for my MaCaw and it stays at the top

My chickens are about full grown now and there is a little over 12" of clearance. I thought that might be low but they all use it just fine. The red nipples help the chickens find them. It took a couple days for the to understand but they all us it now.

It holds about a gallon. The problem with this kitchen compost holder is the design to the interior bucket handle. Try pouring contents out the square v. the round end of the container. Don't hold it by the handle or it will break.

I don't think the bags are deep enough to drape over the edges of a 5 gallon bucket, which is what you want. Maybe a 2-1/2 or 3 gallon bucket would work. Alternately, you could partially fill your 5 gallon bucket with sand or dirt to make the bags fit properly. An added advantage of that is that it would make your setup more stable. Good luck!
