Chicks just arrived, took to the rabbit waterer instantly!

post #1 of 3

Within seconds of putting in the waterer they were already pecking at it and seeing that water comes out and getting excited and getting more water! A success! Though some of the smaller ones seem a bit confused and peck at the neck of the waterer. The big yellow easter egger looks older than the little wyandottes.

I'll keep an eye out for that. I am planning on going the chicken nipple route so I might as well order them now and give them a try.
