Johnny House Water System Help
I am setting up a nipple watering system in my Johhny House and have no clue how far out the ground the nipples should be, does anyone have suggestions?
Re: Johnny House Water System Help
I think I have mine at 6 inches off the ground and that has worked. I think 6-8 would be good.

Mine are about 7 inches from the ground. When I first put the chicks in there I stuck a piece of scrap wood under the nipples so they could have help reaching if they needed it until they were grown.

I have seen pheasant raising setups where they hung the pipe with the nipples with chains and they adjusted the height as the birds grew but I don't know how high they actually were.

That's how I do it in my chicken brooders and I just eyeball it compared to the chicks and raise it about inch or so a week.ezzy333 wrote:I have seen pheasant raising setups where they hung the pipe with the nipples with chains and they adjusted the height as the birds grew but I don't know how high they actually were.

I use the Less Mess feed and water system with my quail. I installed it per the directions and the birds have no problem getting to it. The bottom of the waterer is 8 inches off the floor, so the nipples hang down to about 7 1/2 inches from the floor.
