Chick Waterer to Adult

[Cook1805]

When is it ok to transition my littles to an adult waterer? They are all at least 4 weeks old and are drinking really well. My husband decided to get two naked necks that we were supposed to get last week but were told that they weren't shipped so now we get them on the 3rd. I didn't know if I can move my older ones to the adult waterer and then keep the newbies we are getting separate with the chick waterer or if I should buy a new one?

As long as they can't fall in and drown they are fine. I assume an adult waterer is just larger? I usually switch to a gallon waterer as opposed to a quart waterer at about 3-4 weeks.

Yes just a larger one, I didn't know if there was a different name for them. Thank you so much! I thought they'd be ok but wanted to get a second opinion.
