If I had a nickle for every chicken nipple joke on this site, I'd be able to fill my daughter's piggy bank!

I'm in the process of researching those things, too.

It's just too easy!

When mine came in, I would yell across the room... "hey, anyone wanna play with my chicken nipples??" My boys hated it..I know I am not the first one..but it still works!

I just purchased 10 nipples from farm-tek and am in the process of building a watering system using a 5-gal bucket and some PVC pipe. Will have to figure out what to do for cold weather when that comes.

I bought a DIY kit with drill bit and nipples and hangers.... I will use a 1/2 gallon jug i think. I will get my 6 chicks in two weeks. How do I train them to drink from them? SHould I put out a small waterer in the brooder as well? My husband likes the jokes , as well!

Just tap them from the bottom and let the chix see the water drip. They'll approach and get the idea quickly. Honestly, mine learned in under a minute.

It really comes down to how thirsty they are. You can bet if they are they will find whatever water is available.

My stupid almost one year old chickens can NOT figure it out! I am so sick of trying to get them to get it! My two week olds nailed it in seconds! So annoying! Cant wait till they are tall enough to show the big girls how its done! Lol
