Abstract
A novel adjustment mechanism is provided for varying the height of a poultry drinker above a poultry feeder. The adjustment mechanism preferably includes a first portion to which the feeder is attached, a second portion to which the drinker is attached, and a structure, such as a pin, for fixing the position of the second portion relative to the first portion. The first portion includes a slot along which the second portion slides. The second portion includes a support channel which extends through the slot and the fixing structure contacts the first portion and the support channel to prevent movement of the second portion relative to the first portion.
