“If you want to make an easy, time-saving chicken watering system, these are so easy to install on the bucket size of your choice . You can create a bucket that you refill manually, or add a PVC filler pipe to the top of the bucket, or completely automate the system with a constant water supply and a float device. Whatever route you choose, these emitters will get the job done. My husband put the 5 gal bucket into the coop, and the chickens immediately took to it. Now we refill that bucket about once a week from outside the coop, through a PCV pipe (with a cap) that comes out the top of the bucket and through a small hole in the mesh. It's so simple and saves us so much time. It also keeps the water so much cleaner for the ladies. We are so glad that we bought the 10 pack so we could make a second bucket for our second smaller coop with the smaller pullets.”
“These work extremely well. I was amazed that the girls seemed to figure them out right away. I did not withhold water before giving them access. Their curious nature had one of the ladies peck at the nipple and the rest followed suit. The transition from conventional waterer could not have been easier.”
“Easy installation, simple design. My chicks seemed like they got it, but it's too hot right now in TX for me to take the other one away right now. I tried it one day and showed them what to do and they didn't want to drink out of it after the trial. I'm afraid they will continue panting like crazy instead of just drinking. I'm sure the transition will go fine once it cools a little and I remove the other waterer. Nipples seem to work fine, though.”
“These are great for keeping dirt and debris out of water cans, they are easy to install as well. Took a couple days for my birds to adjust but they've been using it no problem since purchase. No more muddy mess around the water cans. Thank you so much!!!”
“I previously used standard chicken waters that we cleaned each day. Then I added a bucket with vertical nipples to see if chickens would learn to drink from them. This apparently trained them because when I installed these horizontal nipples with gravity feed, they pecked on them before I could get water in the barrel, so I removed all other water sources and they transitioned immediately and effortlessly. These nipples do not leak like the vertical ones, so there is no waste of water.
Im very happy wthe purchase and highly recommend them.
