Horizontal Nipple Waterers... in your opinion, yes or no?

[Devorah]

I just started using a nipple waterer and I have to share some praise! I really like this type of waterer and wanted to use one but I wasn't looking forward to training them how to use it. I found a used Rent-A-Coop waterer for cheap and, after a thorough cleaning, I decided to add it alongside my pullets' original waterer just to see how they would react to it.

I would have never guessed they would flock to this waterer like they've never seen water in their lives! After I pressed the nipples a couple of times to get droplets, the pullets saw red and went absolutely bonkers over the nipples. That new waterer contained the nectar of the gods, the most pristine glacial melt, liquid gold from the deepest artisanal spring. No training necessary for these girls!

For those who might also be hesitant to try this waterer, I recommend going for it! You might be as surprised as I was, and if it doesn't work out for you there will always be someone like me who happily buys the used stuff.

Thanks - great info!
