Watering

Hens drink more than most people expect, and a dirty or frozen waterer can quickly cut egg production. We review nipple waterers, cup systems, gravity founts, and heated bases for winter. Our guides focus on hygiene, capacity, how well each design keeps out bedding and droppings, and which ones keep working in freezing temperatures.
