The first drink has an important role in timely replenishing chicken body water, relieving stress and promoting meconium excretion. The first drink should be arranged before the chicks are placed in the brooding house and before the food is opened. The utensils for the first drink are small vacuum drinkers.

For chicks without drinking water, the crotch should be immersed in the drinker to induce drinking water.
