This and the 5 gallon version of this product are more disappointing products from Little Giant. I had to modify the handles on these to get them to hang straight enough to not leak (I...

2 Gallon Double Wall Fount

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...

you can get it at a grocery store or at Walmart pretty much everywhere like that..... Its super cheap like about 3 bucks will do 5 hatches or so.

In my house, if it comes out of more then one can it's considered homemade!

Possibly the one with foil wrap and plastic wrap or the bakeing isle if there seprate from the wraps. I used the cuboard / dware lineing stuff for one hatch I got a roll of it at the doller store in the kitchen isle .

You can also use paper towels in the bottom of the tray, just line the water wells and the other areas with napkins or paper towels, also use the paper towels on top of the wire, put the eggs on the paper towel lined wire, when your hatch is done, roll the paper towels up and throw away, no more toothbrush needed to get the egg and eggshell bits and pieces off of the styrofoam. spay down with diluted bleach water, rinse and let air dry. also use lysol or pinesol to clean it with.
