Ok, thanks, I am in the process of getting all the parts together in order to start this urban farming operation. Thanks for the info.

I had the same Question but rather depend on opinion. I contacted Solway Feeders they suggested 6 to 8 hens per nipple. They will answer any questions you might have concerning poultry or game birds.My package of nipples I think said 2-3 birds per nipple. But everywhere else I've read (mostly here in BYC) has said up to 15-30 birds per nipple. Both ends seemed extreme, either too many or too few nipples per bird. We have a 3 gallon bucket with 2 nipples in it for 12 birds, which seems fine. We have a second bucket we use in the summer, so there's even more nipples, but it's not so much for the birds but for me so I don't have to refill the buckets so often.
