How Do I Get My Chickens To Use A Nipple Waterer?
Training chickens to use a nipple waterer requires patience and persistence. Start by placing the nipple waterer near their old water source and keeping it clean and fresh. Show the chickens how to use it by dripping water from the nipple onto your finger or into the palm of your hand. As they become familiar with the new water source, gradually remove their old water source and monitor their water intake to ensure they are adjusting well. Rewards such as treats or fresh vegetables can also encourage them to use the nipple waterer.
