When breeding poultry breeders face various problems of their service, in particular with the issue of arrangement of drinking bowls. In this article we will look at options for home-made designs for geese, the pros and cons of various devices.
Nipple
The advantage of nipple drinkers is that they practically need no maintenance, and their cleanliness also does not need to be monitored. 
Did you know? Geese - one of the few living beings, distinguished loyalty partner. If one of the couples dies, the second will grieve for several years.
Necessary materials
For the manufacture of the device will need:
- tank 200 l;
- polypropylene pipe with a diameter of 2 cm;
- drinking bowls with nipples and gaskets (quantity as required);
- pliers;
- drill, drill 10 mm;
- coupling;
- plug;
- temporary nipple.
Geese are waterfowl, so they need a body of water. We advise you to learn how to build a pond for poultry with your own hands.
Instruction
Installation is carried out according to the following scheme:
- As a tank that distributes water, a tank of two hundred liters is used, it is connected to the central water supply pipe. When filling the tank, the float in it will block the flow of water.
- On one side of the pipe put a suitable diameter plug. The length of the pipe is determined by the size of the cage or place in the house where the device is installed.
- On the other side put the coupling with thread and pipe for connection to the hose, which will supply water.
- Drinking bowls purchased in a special store are applied to the pipe to mark the holes. The number of drinkers is determined based on the number of birds. The distance between them is desirable to make the same.
- Holes are drilled from the marks, then the drinkers are installed and the fixings are latched.
- It remains to install the structure in a cage, fasten it on a support and connect a hose with water.

Drinking Tube
Construction plastic pipes can also serve in the poultry industry - for example, watering or feeding trough.
Tools and materials
To collect the structure we need:
- jigsaw with a metal file with a fine tooth;
- screwdriver and drill-eight for metal;
- level;
- marker;
- Phillips screwdriver;
- sewer pipe with a bell 1.5 meters, diameter 200 mm;
- plug;
- rotate 90 degrees;
- 2 mounting.
Instruction
Going device in the following sequence:
- A pipe is put on the pipe on one side, and on the other - swivel sleeve.
- Then a level is established on it, its width is convenient for marking the strip for drinking cuts.
- Marker draws two straight lines.
- Further along the entire length, identical dimensions are measured under the slots. It should be noted with a marker islands between them, so as not to be mistaken when carving.
- Holes are drilled in opposite corners of the markings of the future cutout. Thanks to them cut out the cut will be much easier.
- After all the holes have been made, the latches are installed along the edge, with which it will be possible to attach the pipe to the feeding place of the bird.
- The pipe is installed in the aviary - so that the turn at the end of the pipe through which water will be supplied is outside the cage.
Important! When choosing the size of the slits for drinking, note that the gaps between them should also be wide enough, otherwise the edges of the pipe will turn inwards over time.

From plastic bottle
To make the simplest vacuum drinker, you only need a plastic bottle with a volume of 5 liters, a knife, an awl and a container that is wider in diameter than the bottom of the bottle, with a height of about 15 cm. 
Instruction
Step by step production:
- The bottle is pre-washed and rinsed with an antiseptic.
- At a distance of 13-14 cm from the bottom make a small hole for a stream of water.
- Water is poured into the bottle, closing the bottom opening with something.
- Hermetically close the upper hole and put the bottle in a wider bowl.
Important! Keep the walls of the bottle clean, there should be no plaque on them. It is better to replace such tare regularly with a new one.
Electric drinkers
There are several options for electric water heating for geese. Focusing on their capabilities, as well as on the type of drinkers, you can use the most convenient:
- heated with an aquarium heater;
- electric bulb in the form of a bulb with a nichrome spiral;
- incandescent lamp inside a metal box or foam block, on which the watering / feeding trough is located;
- heating cable that wraps the drinking bowl;
- heating cable held in the pipe (option requires some skills and calculations).
It will be useful for you to learn how to kill and cut a goose.
Among the advantages of heating:
- cold water can cause illness;
- pipes may freeze due to low temperatures;
- part of the heat from the heated pipe enters the air, which is an additional heating room for birds.
Did you know? During flights to wintering and back, a flock of geese can rise to the sky to an altitude of more than eight thousand kilometers. A man at such a height loses consciousness.
Experienced poultry farmers know that the more comfortable and thoughtful the housing of the wards will be, the greater will be the productivity of the farm. Clean water and poultry feed is the key to its health.
