The birds prefer this horizontal poultry nipple over the vertical type and watering cups as it offers greater convenience for accessing and drinking water from its container. The steel rod is easy enough to push, allowing even two-week-old chicks to do it with minimal effort. This horizontal chicken waterer functions like a water dispenser. It dispenses water only when the steel rod is activated by the birds and stops whenever no bird is interacting with it. Simply refill the bucket/container whenever the water runs out. A 5-gallon supply will be sufficient for a week or more, depending on the number of birds in your poultry farm or coop. This poultry waterer nipple is constructed from plastic and steel materials, meticulously assembled to ensure high quality and durability for many seasons. Setting up this nipple drinker is quick and easy; just drill a hole in your container and screw in the horizontal poultry nipples. The only tool required for installing these watering nipples is an 11/32 drill bit. The nipple assembly screws directly into your container, eliminating the need for additional tools.
