Nipple waterer height

Post by smackerquacker » Fri Aug 15, 2008 12:19 pm

I purchased some of those nipple waterers from Farmtek. Anyone have a certain height to set them to for quail or pigeons? Thanks

I saw on the qualitywildlife.com the quail have to turn their heads to drink from the less mess system.

If you set it so that it's slightly above their head height when walking around it works best and wastes the least. About eight inches for quail, ten to twelve for pigeons depending hon how big they are. CR
There's a reason I like dogs better'n people
