To ensure proper water supply and quality for day-old chicks, provide fresh, clean water at the correct temperature (around \(18-21^{\circ }C\)) and make sure it is easily accessible. Use shallow drinkers initially, clean them daily, and place them away from feed to prevent contamination. Regularly check that the water system is working, the height of the drinkers is correct, and that chicks have a good supply, especially in hot weather.

To ensure proper water supply and quality for day-old chicks, provide access to fresh, cool water (18-25°C) at all times, using shallow drinkers or triggering nipple drinkers to ensure visibility and accessibility

To ensure proper water supply and quality for day-old chicks, provide access to fresh, clean water at a cool temperature of 10-14°C, using supplementary drinkers that are easy to reach and regularly checked. Flush the water system before chick arrival, adjust waterer height to eye level, and place drinkers on stands to keep them clean and avoid contamination from bedding.
