Poo help please!

Has anybody successfully used rabbit drinkers for their chickens? I've read about these nipple drinkers you can buy but am unsure if they're the same or not.

I haven't used them for my chickens purposely but I did find all 6 chickens in the rabbit hutch (empty) drinking from the drinker so I guess they can use it.

 

Thanks

I have used rabbit drinkers for quail and that was successful. Someone on the forum suggested it for chickens so I thought I'd give it a go.

Ah, do you know how high they should be? I did wonder if it would work as I thought it needed the tounge to push up the ball in order for the water to come out?

I know Claret uses Rabbit drinkers with her chickens, and I was going to except I could never find a large enough rabbit bottle in stock when I was looking....

 

I believe they work well!

I used rabbit drinkers when I introduced my Pekins to the others so they had access to water if the others didn't let them get to the glug. All of them ended up using it!

I certainly do and it brings an end to filthy water that they wash their feet in! You have to remember to bring the bottles in during cold spells though.
