My chicks range from about 1.5 weeks to 3 weeks. I want to switch from a dish waterer to nipples. I ordered 2 small nipple waterers from rentacoop that have the vertical and horizontal nipple. From what I've read I should start them with the vertical nipple. My question is when will I know I can switch them to the horizontal? Or should I just start them on horizontal? I want to do it as early as possible so I can continue using horizontal nipples in the future.
Also- once they are moved outside to their coop and run, how many nipples should be available? I have 6 chicks and don't plan to add more anytime soon.
