Hi all,
Hoping you can help me and suggest a good water dispenser for my chicks please?
I've got 3 chicks about 11/12 weeks old & we've been using a small traditional plastic water dispenser, the one with the dish underneath. We definitely need to buy a different style, as they keep covering it in dirt when they're scratching around, so I end up cleaning it 4 or 5 times a day!
I was looking at a bucket with the nipples that you push in, but worried that they won't know what it is and dehydrate. I've also seen the one where they push the lever to dispense the water into a little cup, does anyone know if these are any good? Or would you just opt for a off the ground trough?
Any advice would be great.
Katie
