Nipple waterers

[Hopefulloflove]

Where do you get the nipples to water your chickens like that? Does this method have to be hooked up to "running water" Like a hose, or can you just fill a container? How can I make one of these inexpensively? Sorry but I am learning....

Thanks in advance

The easiest way is to hook it up to a container. The container depends on your space and water requirements. I can sell you the nipples if you would like.

A cheap easy way is to buy a 5 gallon bucket and drill in three holes, then screw in three nipples. Fill and hang.

and just drill a hole in the bottom of a 5 gal bucket and install 3 to a bucket hang from hook at chickens adult head hight and fill halfway (a full bucket will pull the handle out over time) put a lid on and put a hole in lid so a vacum is not created

easy!!!!!!!!! they take to them pretty quick normally

It only took my 2 month old chickens less than a minute to master them, too! I love em'. I got mine on Ebay.
