The original and best triangular nipple drinker for pheasants, partridge or ducks of all ages from chicks, poults or adults. Natural or white for use inside to see the water level. Improves bio-security by stopping cross contamination of water allowing antibiotic free game bird rearing and farming.

The Quill Drinker can dramatically enhance the health of all game birds. Chicks get off to a great start taking to the nipples immediately and with no cross contamination through the drinking water gut development is unhindered.

The Quill Drinker oscillates whilst in use reducing boredom and therefore feather pecking in all ages and types of game bird.

The Quill Drinker automatically refills using the Quill valve which keeps water in the drinker at a constant level. The level of the water in the drinker can be raised using small adjustments to the valve. The higher the water level in the drinker the higher the flow rate of the 10 nipples, can be used with water pressure between 7psi and max 20psi.

A unique feature of the Quill valve is its ability to shut off automatically and avoid the potential risk of flooding. No other valve on the market has this feature. The Quill Drinker is made of robust HDPE plastic for longevity.

Various nipple options are available (180 - IMP10022 / 360 - IMP10013 / 360 - IMP10024). Please refer to the link above to see how the water flow rate varies between different nipples. A 180 nipple only has an "up and down” action whereas a 360 nipple also has a “side to side” action.  This means although the flow rates on the 360 nipples are less than a 180 nipple, the water is easier to access from a 360 nipple and therefore it is a wetter nipple.
