You can, and it would depend on if you are relying solely on the bell drinkers or if you have additional water available. Since we have various additional waterers available both in the brooder and out on pasture, it is hard for us to say accurately how many bell drinkers alone you would need.
Great question! We mix one cup of sugar into one gallon of warm water. We typically use the flip-over drinkers for sugar water for the first few days that the chicks are in the brooder.
Thanks for the feedback, very helpful. Unusual to hear back from posters on TH-cam these days, more interested in getting subscribers than giving feed back. Very impressed in your chick facility, the cleanliness, mechanics and safety. Do to ever have rodent problems having access to the building?
The Plasson system is definitely worth the cost for a larger flock, but a smaller flock may do just fine with another watering system! What do you use?

I bought my plasson waterers used. How much water should I use for ballast?. They are the same model seen in video.
about half full should be enough! that's what we do.
@@HeiferUSA thank-you
Where can I buy these drinkers and feeders in the US? The whole system to install in my chicken coop; where can I order it?
Farmer Boy is one source for these drinkers. Tim in northern TN
Can you use this Plasson drinker through the adult stage. How many drinkers you need for 1500 chicks or adult birds?
Thank you

What’s the ratio of water to sugar for the day-old chicks when they come into your system?

@@Spiked2005 You bet. we respond to every commenter at least once. We occasionally have some mice, but nothing a few good traps can't take care of.
