    Heated waterer/ can you teach old chickens new tricks?

    Hi all! I have taken on my sister in law’s hens as she went south for the winter. I’m in south east South Dakota where temps hover around freezing through daytime hours, below freezing over night and it will dip even colder, single digits and -0 before winter is over. For that reason, I...

    Britetap Nipple Waterer Issue

    So this is for those of you who have the Britetap nipple waterer. Does yours leak? I am having issues with 1 of my 2 nipples leaking. I'm not sure if it gets stuck or what but it will run 5 gallons of water out of it when it leaks. Have any of you had this issue, if so, how did you resolve it...

    My smart chicks - horizontal nipple masters!

    My little flock is 4.5 weeks old. I put a waterer with horizontal nipples in at around 2 weeks and wondered how they’d do with it. I knew they were getting water but had no idea how they’d *mastered* this thing...until a few days ago. My smarty smart smart ladies (hopefully ladies haha) have...

    Problem Solver OR Problem Maker?

    Nipple waterers. Do they solve problems, by not spilling as easily as bucket waterers, or do they make problems because they are finicky? I am asking because I want to find a waterer that doesn't spill to easily (I have big problems with water spilling in the coop in winter, so, frostbite :( )...

    Keeping nipple watering systems from freezing?

    I am about to switch (today) from a traditional galvanized metal watering container for my flock of 7 backyard chickens to a hanging (vertical) nipple watering system. I believe that this new system will be superior in every way. Unfortunately I do not have electric power running out to my coop...

    How do I teach my pullets to drink from nipples?

    Over the last week I’ve picked up 7 pullets (2 Easter Eggers, One Red Blue Lace Wyandotte, One Light Wyandotte, One Lavender Olive Egger, one buff Ameracauna, and one mutt.) for my starter flock of backyard chickens. The custom coop and run I ordered for them was supposed to be delivered...

    Ms Biddy's Horizontal Nipple Waterer

    The first nipple waterer I made was for my cattle panel hoop coop, which needed a portable watering system. I liked it so much I made another for my upcycled swingset coop which has challenging slanted walls and limited interior space. This waterer is a space saver and can be customized to any...

    Getting chicks to use nipple waterers

    I picked up my delivery of 30 chicks today and tried to get them to use vertical waterers. They wouldn’t do it. I brushed each chick’s beak against the nipple so they’d get the idea. They needed water so I put a shallow flat pan in the Brooder and they took to it immediately. But they walk...

    Chick waterer

    Hey everyone, trying to set up a bigger brooder for this next hatch. I was just thinking how much of a pain the water is to keep clean. I have no issue using little lids or whatever for the first days but I’d love something that will stay clean at the least for a day. I offered a bottle with a...

So first of all, is anybody else COMPLETELY ANNOYED with the mess the chicks make not only around the fount, but also IN it? I sure am! Twice a day cleaning of the waterer doesn’t...

    Worried About Them Not Drinking

    I have 4 baby chicks in a brooder that I introduced a nipple waterer to. It didn't take them but a day to learn how to drink from it. I think that is mostly due to my one little cockerel, as he is extremely curious about everything... With that said, I have some 1 year old hens that I bought a...

    Farm Innovators heated nipple waterer

    Has anyone tried the Farm Innovators heated nipple waterer for chickens, model HB-60P? I'd really like to switch from a regular waterer to a nipple waterer as the girls are constantly getting huge amounts of dirt in their water as the way it is now. But, I haven't been able to find any reviews...

    Wont use new waterers!

    Our turkeys are about 4 months old. We've had them drinking from buckets in the midst of transitioning to our new house. We are settled now and have finally made our auto waterers with the little cups of water (nipples with cups to catch excess) .. We figured it would make it higher for the...

    Peckomatic Poultry Drinker

    I just bought this poultry drinker last week and happy to say that it’s working quite well. The bird feeder we had purchased from them 6 months before was working perfect for our chickens and it hasn't caused any troubles till now, so thought of purchasing this drinker too from them. This...
