How To Use Pheasant Drinkers

If you're keeping pheasants, you'll need to provide drinkers of various sizes and shapes and depending on what quantities of birds you are keeping, really. This is a good one. You fill it up with water.

Change is out with a feeder every day. Put it on some bricks or something like that. It stops them from getting the dirt in quite so much.

If it's raised up on a few bricks, they can just drink into it. You can also get nipple feeders which are fed via pipe to a small nipple connection which just has a drop bit of water in it. The pheasants will just come up and they will continuously just drink the fresh water.

That way your water gets nowhere near the ground which helps with disease and bugs and whatever. You can also have this sort which again, is running from header tank down these pipes that will naturally keep the right level of water in there. Very easy as well if you're dosing your pheasants for anything that you need to put in the water whether it be a wormer or some sort of antibiotic or whatever.

You can put it in the header tank. It will go to all your drinkers so then you know the pheasants have had whatever medication they need. There are various sizes and shapes of these.

These are actually poultry drinkers but various, various types you can get. This is another sort here. It's the same thing.

That has a pipe running to it for the smaller chicks when you're rearing to pheasants so there's not so much water running to it. Perhaps put a few stones in there. Young chicks are inclined to get stuck in there and they'll drown.

They'll drown in a centimetre of water if they can find it so a few stones in there just so if a chick does fall in there, they won't come to any harm. They can get out again, basically. These are suitable for the older pheasants on a pipe system raised up on a few bricks.

As I said, nipple drinkers, these types of drinkers, the smaller drinkers for your younger chicks, L-Techs as well, they do a vast range of drinkers that are suitable for pheasants. .
