An electrically-controlled water flow regulator for use with a poultry watering system receives potable water at a first, high flow rate and reduces the water flow rate of the water provided to watering valves that dispense water to the flock within a poultry house. A variable control valve uses a needle-shaped cone to engage a mating port inside the housing of the regulator. A motor controls the linear movement of the control valve in incremental steps to adjust the water flow rate provided to the flock. A feedback component enables the variable control valve to maintain the water flow rate at a desired set point for the flock. The desired set point for the flock is controlled or automated to match the growth of the flock over their growth cycle. An electrical controller and suitable cabling enable multiple regulators to be controlled efficiently and cost-effectively.

A bird propelled rotating hummingbird feeder. A pivot housing includes a central axis and a central hole. A plurality of fins is configured as dual opposing fin sets, where each fin is angled at an oblique angle with respect to a plane passing perpendicularly through the central axis and each fin set comprises at least three angled fins attached to the pivot housing so as to be symmetrically located opposite the other dual opposing fin set with the pivot housing centered between the dual opposing fin sets. A feeder jar housing integrated into each of the dual opposing fin sets central fin. A pivot cable is inserted through the central hole and a bearing element it is attached to a bottom end of the pivot cable within the pivot housing. A hanger is attached to a top end of the pivot cable.

A fountain is capable of directing liquid into an underlying basin as an at least generally laminar column to minimize the noise and splashing associated with recirculating a liquid about the fountain. The fountain includes a basin, a faucet mounted on the basin and including an apex and a spout opening that is located beneath the apex and that discharges liquid into the basin, a pump in fluid connection with the basin and the faucet, and an uplift hose that connects the pump to the faucet, Fountain characteristics that can be selected, controlled, and/or altered to achieve these effects may include the inclination of the spout opening of the faucet relative to the vertical and/or the horizontal, the linear flow rate of liquid out of the spout opening, the vertical distance between the apex of the faucet and the surface of the liquid and/or the bottom of the basin, and the characteristics of uplift hose and pump.

An improved, self-balancing water distribution system uses siphon characteristics to maintain negative pressure within the water system and to enable distribution of water to one or more distribution points, such as drinker lines with drinker nipples, at a controlled pressure, for consumption by poultry. The system includes water conduit connected to and configured to distribute water from a water supply reservoir to the one or more distribution points. The water level of the water supply reservoir is used to control the water pressure within the system. A vacuum apparatus is connected to the water conduit to remove entrapped air within the system to help maintain negative pressure within the conduit and throughout the system.
