Wantchooks Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Um - how much should a chook drink each day? Have changed drinking vessel and the level is not going down as much as I thought it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Is it bigger than the one before ? If it is they are drinking the same but it isn't making the water go down as dramatically because there is more water there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alet_chicken Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Hi, the textbooks say they should each drink about half a pint each day. However, the actual amount varies wildly, depending on the weather (they drink a lot more when it's hot), what else they eat (and how much water it contains), etc. etc. As long as you're sure they are all drinking (e.g. if the vessel is bigger, can you littlest ones reach), then I wouldn't worry too much.

Egluntyne Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 They drink more when they are laying too. So long as the water is easily accessible, they wont go thirsty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
