I love my chicken watering cup system for my flock, so when a batch of chicks hatched 3 days ago, I built a mini cup watered setup for the brooder. I have been checking on them every couple of hours and manually filling the cups with water. The chicks are drinking that water, but I am not sure if they are able to push the plungers and get more when the cups empty.
Does anyone know if 3 day old chicks can safely use cups, or should I switch to a regular chick waterer for now and then switch them to a cup system in a few weeks?
Thanks,
Ryan
