In the wild with Katherine: “I haven’t ever found a chicken drinker that I love, until now.”

There’s nothing quite like seeing our products out in the real world, doing what they do best. So for this instalment of ‘in the wild with…’, we caught up with the wonderful Katherine Salom and her flock in Texas. You can follow Katherine’s chicken keeping journey at @gulfcoastcluckers, where she shares content of her flock (including lots of Malaysian Serama bantams which are the smallest chicken breed in the world!) as well as top chicken-keeping tips, and updates to her coop setup.

Living in a mostly hot climate, her hens are thirsty for cleaner sips, and cooler, fresher water all year round, here’s how it’s transformed her daily chicken-keeping routine.

Describe the new Omlet Drinker in 3 words:

Sturdy, innovative, and functional.

How has it impacted your daily chicken routine?

It’s made watering my flock so much easier! I don’t have to worry about constantly refilling or cleaning out nasty drinkers anymore. I have experienced no algae growth which is a problem I often face here in the Texas heat. It keeps the water clean, cool, and off the ground, which means it stays clean. The ability to see how much water is left without having to open it up makes chicken chores easy! If I do notice a dirty cup, you can flush it with a quick spray of the hose and it’s clean!

How does it fit in with your other Omlet products?

Perfectly! It matches the sleek, practical design of my Eglu and Walk-In Run setups. The colours are cohesive and look so nice together. Everything from Omlet just works together so well, it makes my whole chicken coop look tidy and intentional!

How have the chickens taken to it? Did it take them long to get used to it? Is there anything you did that made them warm to it more quickly?

They figured it out fast! Chickens are curious, so once they saw me set down the new waterer, they were all over it. I gave it a little tap to show them where the water came from, and within minutes they were drinking like pros. 

Would you recommend the Drinker to other chicken keepers?

Absolutely! It’s one of those upgrades that you don’t realize how much you’ll love until you have it. I haven’t ever found a chicken drinker that I love, until now, and this one checks all the boxes! I was refilling drinkers from a different brand a few weeks back before I left town and the plastic snapped on two of them, making them trash. It left me in a bit of a predicament, but the Omlet drinker is built so strongly, that would never happen; it’s worth the money for a quality product that will last for years. It keeps things cleaner, saves time, and makes caring for my flock a whole lot easier. Plus, like all Omlet products, it’s built to last.

Katherine’s experience shows exactly what the Insulated Stay Clean Chicken Drinker was designed for: cleaner water, fewer chores, and reliable performance in every season. Whether it’s paired with an Omlet setup or added to a more traditional coop, it’s built to handle the demands of real backyard flocks. A small upgrade that makes a big difference, are you ready to make watering effortless, all year long?
