That nipple pictured, is that what you are using and does that have a spring in it?I made such nipples in a plastic cap of an empty water bottle. If the bottle gets dirty (algae) I can easily change the bottle. I do need to burn a little hole in the bottom of bottle to avoid a vacuüm.
Yes you are correctSo this would mean a transition from VN to HN once the birds are bigger?
Yes you are correct
Umm what do you mean by swaying ?Gotcha. So what I’m hearing is plain chick waterer for the first few weeks and transition to standing HN. I believe @3KillerBs advised not to hang HNs in coop bc they end up swaying.
Yeah I don’t really use VN anymore. Small open waterer at first with HN in all the time. Removing Open waterer once I feel they are big enough.I haven't done this, but I would think that "peck at shiny thing, get water" would transition pretty easily.
Is this what you have done?Yes you are correct
So wait — you started off with an open waterer, then went to HN? When did you use VN? Sorry if I am confused!Yeah I don’t really use VN anymore. Small open waterer at first with HN in all the time. Removing Open waterer once I feel they are big enough.
I meant the hanging waterer might be moving about.Umm what do you mean by swaying ?
