Threaded vs. Push In Water Nipple!! PLEASE HELP DECIDE!

Date sort Score sort
I went with the screw in type in 5 gallon and 3 gallon buckets. The chicks took to them right away and only need to refill them every 10 days or so.

I have decided to purchase the chicken water nipples that a lot of people like. I can't decide which one to buy: Threaded or Push in? I would be using a water or soda bottle or the like.
Thanks

THESE HORIZONTAL POULTRY WATERING NIPPLES WILL WORK AS PUSH IN, WITH TUBING OR 1/4" PIPE THREAD.





 
I used the push in style. Bottom of 5 & 8 gallon buckets and in 1" plastic PVC pipe. On the buckets somewhere around the rim i drilled an 1/8 inch hole to allow air to get in without causing a vacuum. This keeps 90% of the sand and trash out. I water everything from 4 year old Hens to 2 Week old chicks with the push on nipples. I water 300 chickens so it does help a lot with the watering chores. I have been using them for 4 years now and the only leaks i have received is when the bottom of the buckets split. Just take the nipples out and re-use.
