First Sick Chicken!

We've had them using the horizonal nipples for a few weeks now
Could be she doesn't 'get them'....or is she being kept away from them?

It's been said 4 to a HN but I have 2 nipples for 4 .... Never had an issue teaching chicks to use them but the 4 Whitings I have now, really took a while before they figured it out. I have a permanent mark on my container so I can see how much they're drinking. Have learned also the level of the waterer makes a difference, according to their reach. Too low, it's harder for them to work the nipple ... Try it with your finger, it releases water when they place their beak between the base & metal piece.

Also good if you knew how much they were drinking daily before starting the HN's.
Water(haha) under the bridge now.
I offer an open waterer late in day during 'nipple training' to make sure they go to roost hydrated.
