Brower 7 Gallon Poly Poultry Fount 7GF

Seven gallons covers 90 hens, 140 pullets or 140 broilers. If you are running meat birds in summer, size it on the broiler number rather than the hen number, because they drink hard in the heat.

From the top. The 4.5 inch opening takes a hose or a bucket without funneling, and it is wide enough to get your hand and a brush inside the tank, which a narrow neck fount will never let you do.

That is what the two built in handles are for. Most founts this size have to be filled where they sit. This one you can fill at the hydrant and carry to the coop.

The tank is marked in one gallon increments down the side, so you read the mark and dose to it. No measuring into a bucket first and no guessing how much is in there.

The trough comes off the tank, so you can get at both separately. The tank is seamless poly, so there are no soldered seams for pathogens to sit in the way there are on a double wall galvanized fount.

On its own, yes. For cold weather the trough sits on the AEB automatic electric fount base, 100 watts at 115 volts, which will hold it open into the single digits in a sheltered spot. Do not count on it in the open yard with a wind chill.

The red base, the poly cap, the cup insert, the fount closure and both o-ring sizes are all stocked here and all shared with the 4GF. A worn part never means a new fount.

Capacity and height, nothing else. The 4GF is 4 gallons at 16 inches tall for 75 pullets or 150 chicks. The 7GF is 7 gallons at 21 5/8 inches for 90 hens. Same 16.5 inch diameter, same trough, same parts.
