Horizontal Nipples vs. Vertical Nipples

[Coop de Grass]

Yeah, I went ahead and ordered them, both extensions and nipples...
...hope that takes care of my compulsivity for the day

Nice to know that I'm not the only compulsive chicken owner!

Here's a link I just found for installing the adapter.

Great, thanks!!
This is what I wanted to see:

Nice you can tighten from inside to orient nipple.
Wonders tho how effective that black seal is(tho it could be replaced),
and if you can tighten enough to seal well without stripping nipple to adapter thread.
Length of adapter cut will be critical.
Can't wait to touch and try them...
...got a shipping notice 3 hrs after ordering,
says it'll be here between 6-21 and 6-28

I am going to order mine this weekend, or next week at the latest! My hope is that the cooler will help exponentially with keeping the water cool throughout the day!

Have been thinking the same thing.

Right now, I am having to add ice to their water 2x a day... when I am not home to do this, I worry if they are drinking and stayi g hydrated in the horrific heat. This will pretty much eliminate my worries if it works how I am hoping it will.

Do you have a mister in or near the run? Or a kiddie pool? I have a pool that I have set up with bricks so that they stand on the bricks. The bricks absorb the water and the evaporation cools them off.

They'll drink warm water if they are thirsty and it will hydrate them if not cool them off.

Nothing fancy. I got a mister at HomeDepot for about $20. It is meant for use near a pool. You just attached a garden hose to it.
