My son gave me for Christmas a 3 1/2 gal. automatic waterer with 4 nipples for my flock of 8 chickens and one rooster. I plan to build a frame for it to hang from because it has a bail for that purpose. Roo is just under 2 ft. tall and of course the girls are shorter. how far from the ground should the nipples be? I see nothing on the label that gives a recommendation. I have designed and built my coop, pen and chicken swing so this should not be difficult with a few helpful suggestions. Thanks a million. Peg
