summer/winter chicken nipple waterer

@becstalls

@becstalls the water is forced (via the pump) thru the small tube all the way to the end of the PVC run. When the water exits the small tube, there is only one way for it to travel...back to the cooler. If you were to put your hand inside the cooler you'd feel the water coming into the cooler from the drain hole.

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! I like the concise directions, but more than that, I appreciate that part numbers and prices are listed. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Excellent article. In planning stages for a flock now and this has addressed many of my watering fears in a cold winter climate. Awesome idea and explained very well.

This is a super helpful article. I’m definitely planning to use this. I have a question why the pump is necessary though. Won’t gravity do the job?

I thought this article has very clear instructions. I live in Canada and wanted to set up water nipples for my chickens, great in summer, but didn't know what to do when winter came. This article give very clear ideas for how to build a winter ready nipple system.

I can't wait to give this a try! I believe that horizontal nipples have a lesser chance of freezing, so I'm going to give that a whirl.

My flock thanks you in advance!

Easy to follow and detailed enough for a novice (like me). Thanks! :thumbsup

Well built and loads of details. Good job.

Nice informative page with good plan pics on how to produce this water system.
