Today I managed to rummage around my house and find some good materials for chick feeders and waterer!!
~Materials I used for feeder:
-1 quart (16 ounces, or 2lbs) plastic yogurt jar
- 1 small plant tray
-1 nut and bolt
~Tools used to make feeder:
- Anything sharp (used a nail)
- Kitchen scissors
-Cordless drill

~Materials for waterer:
- 1 quart plastic yogurt jar
- 1 plastic TV dinner bowl
- Hot glue
~Tools used to make waterer:
- Kitchen scissors
- Hot glue gun
I made the feeder by cutting out four holes on separate sides of the jar.
I drilled a hole through the jars bottom and the plant tray, then screwed the nut and bolt in. Already tested this, it works great!
As for the waterer, I only cut out one tiny hole on one side and super glued the yogurt jar to the TV dinner bowl. (which I trimmed back a bit because it was too deep of a bowl.) This works well, too. On the inside of the waterer, I marked were the water level should be so it wont over flow.
Im so happy with how these turned out!
how did you get it not to over flow? where did you put the hole at? ours always over fills. we have tried many different containers.Today I managed to rummage around my house and find some good materials for chick feeders and waterer!!
