Horizontal Nipple Waterers

[SusanJoM]

I ordered these thinking I was going to plumb them directly in, but forgot about needing to reduce the pressure.
I've got four separate coops and four separate water supplies, so four pressure valves reducing valves are gonna be expensive....

Has anyone used this?

Does it work?
I will probably use buckets in three of the four coops for starters, and try plumbing one in....and then convert if/as/when it seems practical????

Hi SusanJo, I'm not quite sure what that is but I use a nipple drinker for my main flock. It's gravity fed so you just attach the hose that comes with it to a container and hang it somewhere.

I rigged this up myself recently and so glad I did. No more contaminated water and it lasts a good week for 9 chickens (unless you live somewhere very warm which we dont!)
Used an old water cooler container hooked up to the drinker (with silicone sealant around the attachment)
