   I want to put these in a one inch pvc pipe to run six foot then I have a 55 gallon drum on outside of pen. Would you put 6 per pipe. These are grow out pen or hen pens. Hen pens hold 30 hens and grow out 60. I will have 4 grow outs to start. Then add 4 hen pens. I have 4 inch pipe with holes in them but they get dirty fast.

   Kathyrn — Thanks for your interest! We recommend at least one nipple for every 17 birds (but more is generally better if you think there’s any chance of chickens fighting in small spaces). So for a grow-out pen holding 60 chickens, 4 nipples in your pipe would be the bare minimum. Good luck!
