Watering system?

[broomrider]

How well did the water cups work out for you? I was pondering nipples or cups..

I have used nipples from tsc and they have worked out great. very glad I did it, very easy to make just make sure you put plumbers tape on screw part then screw into bucket so no leakage...

Horizontal nipples require no tape just drill and screw. The tapered thread self seals and they are the only ones that come with 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Do the nipple watering systems work for both chickens and ducks? Or will I need to look for something different? It's getting warmer 'round here & I'm having trouble keeping up with their water needs.

Ducks do better with a cup system or a bowl because they need to clear out their nostrils with water now and then. They also like to bathe so a pool of water to bathe in is important to them. Ducks are messy.

They have a kiddie pool "pond", and we currently have bowl-type waterers...and extra bowls of water. I guess we should just get more waterers because I can already tell what we have won't be enough once the heat turns up outside.
