Will these waterers work with Turkeys

[BellevueOmlet]

Hi Turkey owners.

I have had a lot of people ask me if these waterer cups will work ok for turkeys. I don't see why they would not but I am not positive since I do not have any turkeys of my own. They are 1 3/4" wide at the top and work by releasing water when their beak depresses the nipple valve in the cup while drinking.

What do you think? Thanks in advance

Those waterers don't look wide enough for a turkey. A turkey's head is larger and a turkeys' beak is longer than a chicken. The chicken in that pic looks like her head fits in perfect. It doesn't look like enough room for a turkey.

That's just my 2 cents.

Mine don't even like the 2.5 gallon chickenwater cans, they insist on buckets.

I'm right there with you. Mine hate the 2.5 gallons as well. I use buckets like you.

I switched them to dog dishes after the chickies in the bucket incident.
