Simple rules for chicken drinkers

Bovine mastitis is one of the most common diseases of the dairy herd. It has a great impact on the health of the animals and especially on the economy of the farm and the dairy sector.
Use proper chicken/poultry drinkers – yes, a bowl or bucket of water will work but it’s not ideal and should not be used as a permanent option.
Ensure the drinker is positioned so it can not be tipped over or dirtied by poop or scratched dirt. This can easily be done by either hanging the container at about the height of the back of a chicken or placing the container up on a stand (like bricks etc).
Try to keep 1 litre of water minimum per bird per day.
Have a backup container (a second one in a different location) just incase there is a problem with the other one. This also helps timid hens have a different drinker option if they are getting bullied by other hens.
Keep the containers in a cool shady place as this not only makes the water cool to drink but it also helps prevent the formation of algae and moss in or on the container. If the container is in a position where it does get some sunlight then covering the top (if possible) is a good idea or use a dark container (not see through).
If using a gravity fed drinker (like cups or nipples) don't make the water container too large or hook up to mains otherwise leaks will occur. A good sized container for gravity fed drinkers is under 30 litres (8 gal) and if using mains then ensure a good pressure reducer is installed!
