Ozark, Arkansas | we just installed a second brooder house, with the big Z activator 4 in drinker, is this the one yoiur talking about?
we put one houes of the drinkers in this last flock, and had one house with nipple drinkers, the new drinkers started the birds a lot easier than the nipples, 7 day livability was 99.6% highest we ever started.
at 5 weeks they weighed the 2 houses since they could compare the 2 side by side, the ziggity birds were 3/4 of a pound heavier at 5 weeksl
we kept a record of water used in each house, the ziggity's averged almost twice as much water used up to week 5, just seemed like they got all the water they wanted easier.
the birds are now 10.5 weeks, they weigh them this week for pickup schedule, the ziggity birds seem to be a little fatter than the others, we'll see, probably today. oh and we still have 98% livability
the waters cost us, I think $2.30 each, Butterball made a mass order so they cut the price a little.
