Automatic Duck Waterers?

[Pheasant283]

Can Ducks be trained to drink out of automatic Chicken Nipple type waterers?

I dont know, but I had a juvinile turkey drown in my 3 gallon plastic waterer yesterday. I had planned to put in the nipple waterers a month ago or so, no I wish I had. I doubt ducks are dumb enough to drown in a waterer, but probably still worth a go.

Ducks need to be able to dunk their entire bills in water.

I wouldn't use a nipple waterer for ducks as they need to wash their faces and eyes.

I just happened to read this and found it very interesting:

That should answer questions as to the "best" source of water for ducks!
