Chicken Waterers
Just wanted you to know how pleased we are for our shipment of three nipples that were installed to three Mayo jars for watering our five bantams on one end and our eight standard hens on the other. Did not take them long to catch on. My question is how can we keep the jars from freezing during five days of 20 degree weather. Our thoughts are wraping the jugs with some type of covering. You are more knowledged in this area. Thanks so much!!!

Keeping waterers from freezing

I'm so glad they're working as well for you as they do for us!  We've got three different pages you might like to look at concerning freezing temperatures:

Chick brooders
I assume you're talking about raising baby chicks? The recommended temperature for the first week is 95 degrees, so I'd say no lamp if it's that hot! We actually prefer a ecoglow brooder since the chicks can come out from underneath if it's too hot or go in if they get cold.

Waterers in PVC with hose hookup

I tried putting the new nipple waters in a pvc pipe hooked to a hose when the pipe was pressured up from the hose the chickens could not activate the nipples after I relieved the pressure and had just gravity feed the chickens could use the nopples. I saws the picture on your web-site using the pvc and I thought what a great idea. Any suggestions on how to make it work.

Thanks Sam Young sdyoung@peoplescom.net

PVC pipe waterer
It looks like you found your problem --- our nipples are only designed to work under gravity feed pressure. If you take a look in the extensive instructions that came on the CD with your do it yourself kit, you'll see step by step instructions for making PVC pipe waterers. Good luck!
