ajm200 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Hi, Pkrase can someone remind me how we used to get chickens to use the poultry nipples on the superglug? All my previous chickens got it but only one of the current 3 has worked it out after 3 weeks and she would rather drink from a puddle I’ve tried tapping it with sticks and the black one will peck it. The others just stare at it. I removed the other drinker and they all drank from puddles and pecked condensation from the tarps. i really want to get rid of the traditional poultry drinker as i’m Having to clean I several times a day. I keep finding allsorts in it even droppings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 From memory, those were scrapped because the birds didn't like to drink from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I still have two hung up in the WIR, one is pretty much touching the ground so the Call Ducks can get their heads in (their bath is in the FR area outside the WIR) and they all use it fine. I actually saw one of the ducks drinking from the nipples of the higher one last week so they do use them too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
