I put all the advice from BYC to good use an implemented a horizontal nipple waterer today. Thanks to all who have commented on them. It seems to be working well. I only had to show one and the others followed. I’m using 4 nipples on a 2 gallon bucket for 17 chicks that are 3-1/2 weeks old. I later plan to upgrade to a larger bucket, but the 2 gallon is plenty big now, takes up less space, and is easier to handle.
I appreciate any advice or thoughts after looking at my pictures. Do I have the height right?
