    Watch Chickens with Horizontal Nipples - Leave extra water source in case

    Oh yes definitely, that was my plan! I never got rid of their old waterers anyways. And I'll probably freeze them some yummy treats, as I do that for our dogs too. I have a lot of silicone molds I can use too 😊

    Watch Chickens with Horizontal Nipples - Leave extra water source in case

    Thank you, and yeah I'm blown away as I saw them all over there pecking at them drinking no issues. But we do have 3 white silkies...so I can't know for sure which one was which from the fence where I peek in. I plan on keeping the annoying waterer out there anyways. I hate cleaning it as it...

    Watch Chickens with Horizontal Nipples - Leave extra water source in case

    Yes I can only imagine how others might manage that. I hate the open waterer they get it so dirty no matter if I hang it or set it on blocks. So that was my plan to switch to horizontal nipples.

    Watch Chickens with Horizontal Nipples - Leave extra water source in case

    My chickens are 14/15 weeks. And I have 5 other silkies even a special one who actually had no issues, so it blew me away too. Just wanted people to know just in case! I know sometimes they'll be fine and figure it out, but I never thought! So glad I checked on them and was able to save her!

    Watch Chickens with Horizontal Nipples - Leave extra water source in case

    So just like the title reads... If switching to horizontal nipples, be careful. I've read a lot of different things here, and as well as the instructions for the nipples. I saw what I thought was at least 7 of my girls drinking from them. So I thought okay...they're good. They all seemed fine...
