Horizontal Chicken Watering Nipples – Heavy-Duty, Drip-Free Poultry Waterer Nipples
Keep your flock's drinking water cleaner with My Pet Chicken Horizontal Freeze-Free Watering Nipples. These heavy-duty poultry watering nipples install into a bucket, PVC pipe, or another suitable water container to create a mess-free chicken waterer with less splashing and contamination than traditional tray-style drinkers.
Unlike vertical watering nipples, these horizontal nipples do not drip, and no water remains stored inside the nipple itself. That design also means the nipples will not freeze when the water supply is being heated. They are especially useful for poultry keepers looking to build a custom chicken waterer that can sit on the ground rather than requiring a hanging system.
Key Features
- Horizontal, Drip-Free Design: Unlike vertical poultry nipples, these are designed not to drip, helping keep the area around your waterer cleaner.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Made with high-density plastic originally developed for use with weasels, these nipples are built to withstand substantial wear and use.
- No Water Stored Inside the Nipple: The nipple itself does not retain water when the container is full, so it will not freeze when your water supply is heated during cold weather.
- Works With Custom Water Containers: Install the nipples in a suitable bucket, such as a 5-gallon plastic bucket, or PVC pipe to create a watering system that fits your setup.
- Ground-Level Placement: A nipple watering system can be placed on the ground rather than hung, making it a practical option for coops and runs that cannot accommodate a heavy hanging waterer.
- Stainless Steel Pin: Chickens release water by pecking the stainless steel pin, giving them direct access to water without an open drinking tray.
Designed for Cleaner, Easier Poultry Care
Traditional open waterers can quickly become dirty with bedding, droppings, and other debris. A nipple-based chicken waterer keeps birds from standing in or splashing through an open tray, reducing the mess associated with conventional watering systems and cutting down on scrubbing.
The horizontal design also gives you more flexibility when building your watering setup. Because the nipples can be installed in a bucket or PVC pipe, you can choose a container and placement that work for your coop or run instead of relying on a hanging waterer.
For winter use, the lack of stored water inside the nipple is another useful feature. When the water supply itself is heated, the nipples will not freeze because there is no water sitting inside the nipple unit.
How to Train Chickens to Use Watering Nipples
Most chickens need a little introduction to nipple drinkers. Tap each nipple so that water fills the reservoir. Your chickens should notice the water and begin pecking at the stainless steel pin, which releases more water.
It can take a day and several attempts for birds to fully understand the new watering system. A small amount of sweet jam or jelly on the nipples may also encourage them to peck at the pins.
Important: Remove all other water sources while training your chickens so they learn where their new water supply is.
Installation Instructions
- Use an 11/32-inch drill bit to drill the installation holes.
- Space holes at least 6 inches apart.
- Screw the nipples into your chosen water container.
- The manufacturer recommends screwing each nipple in only about 80% of the way. The flange does not need to sit flush against the bucket.
Know Before You Buy
- Not suitable for chicks during their first week: These nipples require enough strength to depress the pin, and newly hatched chicks may not be strong enough to operate them.
- Heating is required for freeze-free winter use: The nipples themselves do not retain water, but the manufacturer notes that your water supply must be heated to prevent freezing in winter.
- Container not included: These are individual watering nipples for installation into a suitable bucket, PVC pipe, or other container.
