Highlighted Reviews
"I got this that the chicks had been using the open-base style waterer from day 1. When we moved them out to the coop, they surprised me and took to the horizontal nipples right away!"
"I have given this thing a month, and a couple of my birds get it, and the others do not. They are all acting like they’re dying with no water. Same for the feeder. Wish I could send them both back."
Bottom Line
If your chickens are accustomed to open-base waterers, this might not be the best choice. It requires some training and there are durability concerns.
