Chicken Nipple Watering Question! Please HELP!

[BellevueOmlet]

I tried using the nipples with my chicks and they were using them a bit but struggling. I would recommend baby water cups so they can drink from a cup without any hassle. Turning them vertical should help, and make sure they are tall enough so that they do not have to squat allowing them to drink freely.

Farktek has them for a couple bucks a piece but the shipping is still like $10, it would still be cheaper than $10 each though!

Neil Grassbaugh here on this forum has them and at good prices.

Gallo del Cielo pointed me here, where they are currently available for $1.27 each plus $6.50 shipping to ship 10 (thanks Gallo):
