Water nipples

[mldlm]

I would like some input from you, please. I have been using the auto-fill watering cups, but I am thinking of switching to the nipples. How hard would it be for them to adapt? Have you had luck (or not) with using them? Thank you for your help!

Mine went from cups to nipples in abt 20 min.

Doesn't take long, do it on a not so hot day, remove all other water sources, show em how to use them when you go into the run by pushing the nipple in.

Takes minutes just flick your finger in the nipple to make the metal bit move and their curiosity will do the rest

When I have chicks I use a nipple that has an arm and a hang down nipple...I transfer to regular nipple around three weeks. I never use anything else and my birds don't get contaminated water issues. I stand by them and they have proven to be (for me) the best watering system for my birds.

Thanks to everyone for your replies. Keeping the water cups clean is the biggest issue. Thanks again!
