baby chick watering

[chickennewbi669]

Hello everyone, we are new at raising chickens. Just ordered them and will be here in a week. Will the baby chicks take water from nipples or do we have to provide other means, Thanks

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Best to start with a little dish and train them to the nipple when they are a little older

Hello and

We always used a small dish for water. However I agree with the sort willow recommended, those are the most commonly used.
Don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have, and enjoy the site.
