What height should the Chicken Waterer be?

Cups

If using with cups, the cups should match the height of your smallest hen's back. If the cups are too high for your smallest chicken's when on the legs, switch to hanging so you can drop the height as required. At this height all your larger chickens will also be able to use the cups.

Nipples

If using with nipples, the nipples should match the height of your chickens' beaks so they peck at the nipple from slightly below with a little stretch. This enables the chicken to maintain the correct head angle for swallowing and taking measured sips. If you have a mixed flock of different sizes and are using the Waterer with nipples, you will need multiple Waterers so each size of chicken has access to the nipples at the optimal height.
