How I introduce my quail to chicken watering nipples

It takes about a day if tapping the chicken nipple to show them how to drink from it. I do this on a Saturday so I can come out every 2 hours to tap the nipple. If there are alot of quail in the pen. I would let them hydrate for about a hour with the basic waterer then the next day I will take it away permanently. By this time enough quail have figured it out and will show the others. You do have to watch them and make sure they are drinking. Do not keep the old waterer in the pen with the new one. They will not attempt to drink from the chicken nipples

Take your time and make sure whatever water container you get will fit and isn’t to large or to small. I like the locking seal lids. Not the pop on tops. Less debris gets around the edges into the water
