Create your own poultry drinker easily with these high-quality horizontal water nipples, designed for side-mounting onto any container or bucket.
Developed in partnership with Bainbridge, these nipples are ideal for hobby farmers who want a cleaner, more efficient watering system for their flock.
Unlike traditional cup or vertical nipple drinkers, horizontal nipples only release water when activated. This prevents spills, keeps the water cleaner for longer, and reduces the need for constant scrubbing or refilling.
The spring-loaded design means they don’t rely on gravity — water is released as the bird pecks the nipple, allowing a few drops to fall directly into the beak or the drip guard below.
The key difference between these and other water nipples is that they have a small ledge that holds a small amount of water. Birds can see the water, which attracts them to the nipple and makes it easier for chicks and adults alike to learn how to drink from it.
Being a nipple design, they don't get easily clogged with dirt like other styles of waterers and won’t block or leak — saving water, time, and messy cleanups.
Because they mount horizontally on the side of your container, the drinker can sit flat on the ground during refills — a simple but practical advantage over traditional bottom-mounted systems.
