Sounds about right to me.....can't remember and am not going to go out and measure
Better to low that too high....I've seen grown birds drink from the chick nipples that are much lower to the ground
I also use bricks and 4x4's as a step up for the shorter birds.

PSI for chicken nipples...hmmm....quick google tells me 5PSI.

ETA...another observation.
The foam insulation, remove or cover it completely as they will peck t it and eat it.
Do you have a valve on the nipple pipe so you can flush it from time to time?

Thanks Aart!

Well I can confirm it! The feeder does hold a 50lb bag of feed! Just moved it to the other side of run with the dust bath and water nipples. Lowered the water nipples to 16” seems to be about right. Had to shut the water off because pressure is too high. Ordered the regulator, will get delivered Thursday.

Added some perches under the coop for the hens now (their favorite spot), and the chicks next year.
