ReplyDeleteOkay, I give up. What on earth is a chicken nipple?
ReplyDelete@clairz a chicken nipple is a way to water your chickens without all the poo getting in their water. i took some photos of what i did with my chicken nipples (ok that made me laugh) and will make a post so you can see. hard to describe with words :0)
