I also forgot to mention that I have 15 ducklings so I'd like to have something I don't have to fill up every 5 mins as I'm not always here. Kada I've seen your waterer in a different thread and I really love the idea but I'm wondering how well it would work for 15 instead of the 5 you have. I suppose I could just use a bigger tupperware thingy? Going Quackers (love that name BTW) I had a waterer almost similar but they would sorta flood their brooder. When I cleaned it out each morning I would have puddles and have to get paper towels to soak them up. Which is why I switched to the milk jug thing. However I didn't have to worry bout things like this with my waterer which is nice. Wildpeas what were you using before the stall pellets? Do the stall pellets seem to help your brooder stay cleaner? Thank you guys so much for all the great information. I'm thinking bout copying what you have kada. Just one more question as you can see from my perfect circle cutting lol I'm not really all that good with making things straight if I messed up on the holes and they weren't square enough would I end with something like I have now? I really don't want anything to happen like that again.
What I would do depending how big your brooder is, mine is pretty big so I could do this if I need to in the future but what about having muliple water?
