    nipple waterer for chickens?

    Mine rush the most when I spill/pour water on the ground 😄 You’d think I kept them parched all week. And they don’t even have nipples as an excuse.

    nipple waterer for chickens?

    I gave up on the nipples a year and a half ago. I don’t regret it one bit. I use a heated dog bowl in the winter and a regular bowl the rest of the year and it works fine.

    nipple waterer for chickens?

    I trained my chicks from last year on horizontal nipples and they did okay for a few months. Then summer hit and I got worried that they weren't getting enough water. They never liked the nipples, they seemed to be frustrated by how little water comes out. One day on a very hot day, my kids were...
