Not sure. Just put one in with them, along with their regular waterer, so they can try and practice.
6 week old standard chicks can use them, but not sure about Silkies or other bantams due to size. Doesn't hurt to try and train them anyhow but I would leave other sources of water for the time being, until I could see for certain that they're able to use the toggles without difficulty.
Ok, thanks! I'll try and see if they figure it out, but leave other water with them for right now! I'm guessing by 8/10 weeks they might be able to use it independently?I don't know about Silkies, but mine are learning how.
I haven't tried that yet. It looks pretty good, but also pretty expensive! (134 dollars)Hi there- off topic, but you mentioned rats- have you tried a Grandpa’s feeder? It took my girls a little while to figure it out but now that they have, their food is in a rodent-proof bin. I highly recommend these feeders. I can put a whole bag of feed into it, and it keeps the feed dry and I’m no longer feeding mice and chippies!

I might end up trying, but am not yet convinced.
