Poultry nipple drinkers are watering systems designed specifically for chickens and other birds. They consist of a durable nipple unit that dispenses water when pecked. This triggers the valve and releases a small amount of water into the plastic catch cup below, which the bird then drinks from. Poultry nipple with cup drinker is one of the modern ways of serving water to chickens without having to carry water around in buckets. The nipple drinking system is fully automated and is probably the most widely used chicken drinking system used by modern poultry farmers. There are different variants of nipple drinkers.
How Poultry Nipple with Cup Drinker Works
The water is delivered to nipple-drinking pipes from a header tank on top of the chicken house. As the chickens need water they will peck at the nipple and a drop of water is released. It is a fantastic method of giving your chickens water. A well-designed nipple will not drip or give too much water – this prevents the shavings from getting wet – which can cause problems with the health of your chickens.
This product requires some maintenance – but the work involved in maintaining a nipple drinking system is a lot less work than filling buckets or cleaning out automatic drinkers.
