If these waterers aren't fairly level they leak -- that's pretty obvious. We don't have a lot of flat level spots in our chicken areas, so decided to hang our waterers and let gravity level them...

Have you ever seen a wild mallard? thats how big they are. Smaller than a Cayuga but probably larger than a call. I don't see why they wouldn't get along if they are raised together or introduced slowly.
