About This These nipples don't drip because no water is stored in the nipple unit even when your bucket or drinker is full of water, they won't freeze during the winter provided yo u're heating your water supply. These water nipples are designed to be tough and durable! They were originally created for weasel farms to withstand gnarly teeth and rascally personalities. The plastic is high density, and the nipple won't break. Please keep in mind that as a result of this product's extra strength, it's not suitable for chicks their first week of life. They're not strong enough to depress the nipple. Convenient way to supply water to your flock! These nipples are easy to install into buckets or PVC lines, so you can always keep your flock hydrated! Use an 11/32" drill bit to drill holes in your preferred bucket, a minimum of six inches apart from one another. They're the perfect addition to a heated container as they do not hold water and will not freeze! To train your chickens on this type of nipple, we suggest tapping on each nipple so that water fills the reservoir. Chickens will note the water and get the idea, pecking at the stainless steel pin which will release more water. It may take a day or so of several attempts for them to fully understand. (It may also help to put sweet jam or jelly onto the nipples, to encourage pecking!) It is very important to take all other water sources out during this time. Show more
