I'm the only house with a red fence, a small greenhouse, and a chicken coop with a netting over it.

Okay, so update on the horizontal chicken nipples....

After my birds spent the first night in the coop, I went back out the next morning and grabbed Matilda the Rooster. He squawked and kicked, but I finally wrangled him into submission. I poked his beak into one of the nipples and low and behold a drop of water came out. This immediately got his attention and he stood there staring at it shaking his head. I immediately grabbed the Jane the rooster and did the same thing. That's when they went at it like they havene't had water in a year. Well after that, it didn't take long for them to teach their ladies and Guineas how to use the nipples. Overall it was pretty simple. You just have to wait and show them how to use them when they are thirsty. I doubt I will ever go back to the nasty gravity water buckets that collect poop and pine shavings.
