Dutch are you trying to switch your animals to a new water system right before you leave out of town? I wouldn't be comfortable doing that with mine. I would suggest at least leaving the old water system in with the new.

Absolutely!

Thank you starlingdaly!

Last question, has anyone gotten their rabbits to drink from poultry nipples.  It said on the site it oculd be used for them as well, but I didn't know if it would work.
****'s really hitting the fan over here for me tonight!

I bet you could train the rabbits to drink from the new nipple system. Since they can use the bottle system.
But I would think it would take them a little longer to catch on than a bird that is naturally inclined to investigate things through pecking.

I didn't even think of that. She isn't showing any other signs of any illness. It seems like it doesn't even bother her and she is just the sweetest thing ever!

Good morning folks

Hope everyone has had a good weekend so far. We seem
to have lots of broodies this year, more then usual. We
figured why fight them and just put them to work so we give
them turkey eggs or the eggs we want hatched. Has worked
well so far.

hope everyone has a good day

Yes just because the person who was supposed to come everyday now can't and I want to make sure there was enough water since it's hot.
I'm having a panic attack about leaving them!
Instead of the nipples I made some 5 gallon waterers, similar to the ones you fill and flip over I can't really explain, but it's the same concept as what they're drinking from now just holds more.
I have 5 gallons for 4 ducks plus their pool.
5 gallons for 12 chicks
15 gallons for 15 chickens, a peacock & a turkey
and 10 gallons for 10 pullets & a meat turkey
And 10 gallons for 10 rabbits.

Do you think this will be enough water???
I've never had to leave without having someone care for them for me!!!!!
I am plenty good on feed, they have 200lbs feeders in all my bird pens and a 5 gallon bucket in both rabbit pens with a tray at the bottom it feeds into...


My husband made it very clear if I'm not in that car leaving for a week at noon, all my stuff needs to be out of the house by the time he gets back with the kids, and he's not messing around.
