They look exactly like the ones from the pic from TSC. They are the horizontal nipples. I prefer the vertical ones like in these pics.They look weird there.
Can't hardly see them in your pic, it blurs out when I zoom in.

We had a waterer with nipples several years ago, but the nipples always seemed to leak, even after we replaced the nipples. Do those of you who use this type have a problem with leaking? After several years of this, we switched to a different type.I think mines a 5 gallon.
Depends on the nipples you use. Mine do not leakWe had a waterer with nipples several years ago, but the nipples always seemed to leak, even after we replaced the nipples. Do those of you who use this type have a problem with leaking? After several years of this, we switched to a different type.
I found the VN's to be leaky, they are easier for chicks tho...They are the horizontal nipples. I prefer the vertical ones like in these pics.
Which type of nipples are you talking about...We had a waterer with nipples several years ago, but the nipples always seemed to leak, even after we replaced the nipples. Do those of you who use this type have a problem with leaking? After several years of this, we switched to a different type.
Did you start them on the nipple waterer early on?My chickens learned almost instantly. They are so observant and smart! Just tap with your finger and they will figure it out.

Just curious: is there a particular reason you started the chicks at 6 weeks as opposed to immediately?I will second this post. Super easy to train. My first flock transitioned when they were about a year old, my new additions from last year were on standard water dishes until they integrated at 6 weeks. Then they used the nipples.
Either tap it with your finger and they’ll see, or pick a couple up, hold their head, and peck their beaks against the nipple a few times until they lick/swallow. They get it, do it, and the other chickens see and copy.
As a general rule young chicks (around 3 weeks and under) are not strong enough to toggle horizontal nipples.Just curious: is there a particular reason you started the chicks at 6 weeks as opposed to immediately?
