They're rediculous to buy them. I made mine. I thought about making them to sell them too lol

I made mine for the cost of the nipples... I think it was $4

I also use nipple waterers in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket and keep a submersible heater in the bucket. They work pretty well and unless it's below 0,they typically don't freeze over. In the turkey pen, I use one of those heated pet bowls that you can get from tractor supply. I don't think those body birds are smart enough to figure out nipple waterers lol. Maybe I'll test that theory next summer

My Turkeys use them just fine! Even baby chicks I put it down low for them to reach, thinking They aren't going to get it yet, but at 2 1/2 wks old, they were awesome! They took to it like it was innate!

Then I'll have to set one up for them over the summer. Right now, the heated dish is good for winter but I can't stand that plastic water fount. It's a big, 5 gallon one. It's heavy, gets weird algae in it, and they slop food and mid in it constantly.

All plastic, yes?

Scrub the weird algae out and get some Copper Sulfate to add just a tiny bit to the water and it will prevent the algae from growing... stains and leaves residue, but no algae and copper is an antimicrobial...

I am happy to report that I have an incubator full of chicks, a day early as usual.  e   Time to retire the Styrofoam incubator.
