That is a great idea. I have close to a hundred quail chicks hatching around the 19th so the more room the better and food and water dishes with that many chicks takes up a lot of space and can get rather messy. I might have to try this out. Thank you for sharing.Okay, I have to share. I'm setting up a tote brooder tower (6 totes per tower) so I can separate my chicks for customer pickup. To make things easy I setup my feeders/drinkers on the outside of the totes so I can re-fill easily without reaching inside. The bonus is that there is room for more chicks per tote this way. On top of that, I'm upgrading my growout brooders and pens. My gallon size feeders/drinkers go in a portable caddy diner on the inside of my growout pens so I have to reach in to take care of those, but it's only a matter of unscrewing the lid and filling from the top. No poopy water.....EVER AGAIN!
