Tips for training chooks onto nipples.
The golden rule for teaching birds to use a new watering system, such as nipples, is to remove all other sources of water. As long as they have access to a familiar water source, they will prefer it and will not try something new. Once the new system is their only option, it only takes one bird to try it and show the rest of the flock how to get a drink.
When you install the new nipple system, simply gather your chooks around and tap the nipples with your fingers to show them that it releases water. This will get their attention, and they will learn very quickly.
We recommend 3-4 chooks per nipple.
