Waterer Containers/Dishes for Brooder Box

[HunterH]

Looking for ideas on what I might have around the house to make or use for watering quail chicks while in their brooder box!

It needs to be things they can't tip over and that dan be elevated above ground level, to keep some of the litter from being kicked in. My grits are in a metal cat food dish that is screwed to a pland of 2x4, for example. If they can stand (and poop) in food or water, they will. That's why commercial dishes with the food or water are designed so the stuff is only in a relatively small area around the outside edge, in the style of the first 3 or 4 on this page:

Thanks! I finally found some Little Giant quail waterers locally, they should be perfect!
