Post by: MKD on October 30, 2016, 14:32

Hi all I want to hang my hens drinker off the ground how many inches from the floor does it need to be???
All our hens are hybrids and all look roughly the same height. Thanks for any replies max

I would hang the drinkers lower, rather than higher.  Hens seem to like dipping down to water. 

Mind you, mine are obsessed with puddle water, which they think far superior to anything I provide  ::)

We were told no higher than chest height.
