Chicks won't use cups for water

[wordscapes]

Do they have any other source of water available? I've found that with the cups and the nipple watterers if there is any other "easier" water around, they will not use them.

We removed other water. Cups are a little lower than chest high. They will drink until the little red cups are empty, but then don't peck yellow activator to refill.

Well they had to be good at drinking to have gotten to their current age. What did they drink from before?

Ornery chicks, lol. Guess they're teaching you early who is really in charge

We had the usual small upturned jar connected to a watering "trough", but we needed something larger as they grew...
