Welcome back to the farm yall!
Today we are talking about the best and worst methods to give fresh and clean water to your chickens!
1. What we would consider normal or chick waterers. The upside down bottle.
These are terrible because you have to refill constantly and they get sooooo dirty. So I only recommend them for when you have chicks that are super young. \

2. The next best option would be nipple waterers. They are great because they keep the supply of water fresh and give water on demand. You can also attach these to a bucket or pvc line.
The bad part of these is that if you have ducks or geese like we do, they cant get enough water from these due to their beaks.

3. The third option would be cup waters. They have two size options. They are awesome because not only can your chickens use these, but so can your ducks and geese.
The only bad about these is that you can to take them off and clean them routinely to keep them clean.

If you don’t want to install these cups on a bucket or water line, you can also buy a bucket with them that has them already installed to make it easier. They are typically more expensive though and don’t hold a ton of water.

4. The last and best option is what we use. We have tried all of the above before, and while we still use the nipple waterers for our small chicks, we use these larger waters for all our animals now. That is because its easy for the ducks to drink and clean out their bills, in addition to the chickens being able to drink from them. We also use them for our goats.
The only downside is that it tends to get dirty really easy, so you have to spray them out with a hose routinely, because they are attached to something. We sunk some 2x4’s in the ground and then screwed these into those 2x4’s.
