Watering nipples

[johnnymac221]

I've been testing some 5 gallon buckets and watering nipples. The chickens seem to work ok with it, but prefer a source of water with more "output" if you will. Anyone using only water nipples to water the chicken? Is this enough?

i've been using two nipples attached to juice gallon bottle for about a month now and i haven't heard a complaint lol... i think any extra output is extra waste because they get quenched and move on.. the extra would drip to the ground anyway... so far so good... and i refill bottle like once a week and everything stays clean.... wondered why i didn't get those nipples sooner... oh well good luck

I prefer the cups for the same reason. There is a little source of water that they can drink naturally from. I have the cups and the nipples in my coop and they never drink from the nipples.
