I've been reading this site for a bit. My daughter's first 20 chickens are now in their new coop and we wanted to put in a watering system that would stay cleaner.
We are using the deep litter method using pine shavings, which we like so far (about 4 weeks in the coop) and the shavings get in the water right now.
We're wanting to use flexible braided PVC tubing and the nipples with the cup under the nipple to prevent drips on the bedding.
I ordered 10 from a seller a few weeks ago on Ebay, cconly, but the seller never shipped. Long story short, some game with electronically assigning a tracking number but never shipping. At least Ebay Buyer Protection got a refund for me.
So that puts us back in the market for these waterers
Here's what we want
1. Good price (lots of high shipping on these)
2. 10 pieces
3. Reasonable quality (we're not a big commercial poultry house, but we expect them to work and last a while without leaking)
4. Reasonable shipping time. Faster is good, but we don't need them "tomorrow"
5. I can go with rigid pvc, too, but thought the tubing would be easier
IIRC, I read about a source on here but the thread was quite old and I think it was something like, "I have some extra..." that I'm sure is long gone.
* Anyone have a favorite seller to share?
BTW, my wife and I LOVE this site and have been reading and learning lots of stuff!
After nearly getting burned, thought we'd ask for a source recommendation this time
