billathome65 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Is it OK to move a water feeded from one spot to another? I will explain My run has two levels and I had bothe the dry and wet feeders at the bottom of the run which ment it was a little cramped so I have now moved the water feeder to the top of the run. Now I have heard that Chucks arn't the brightest animals tell that to some of the people I know as I think the chucks are possibly brighter than them LOL, But I am worried that the chucks won't realise that it has been moved and I don't want a situation where they become dehydrated. Will it be OK where it is or should I put it back on the lower area as they don't go up top that much. Advice please Regards Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Oh dont worry one little bit, if theres food and water about anywhere they'll find it Usually the dirtiest muckiest puddle they can find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Just lift them onto the next level and stick a beak in and they'll soon catch on. They'll see it anyway when coming out of their house, bet they jump straight over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henergy Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I move mine all the time - they are pretty switched on when it comes to their bellies ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucklamp Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'm sure ours use the drinkers as a last resort but they always know where they are wherever we have placed them in the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouldercroft Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 mine rush out of the run 3 at-a-time to the nearest muddy puddle - even though they have lovely clean troughs - crazy crazy chooks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
