Just sharing...I have 4 lil chicks...didn't have a waterer. Tried a bowl w/rocks so they didn't drown but they were constantly wet running around in it, wetting the bedding, making for even more frequent changes...only have 4 chicks tho, lol
I took a chobani yogurt cup (rounder and a lil shorter than others) and baby bottle I found in the cupboard. Just the bottle, no cap or nipple. Filled it with water. Took scissors and cut a sliver of plastic from the cups rim. Put yogurt cup on top. Slipped sliver of cup where the cup and bottle meet to make a tiny gap. Flip the whole thing over and set it down. The water will fill the cup in a minute or so, then I set it in a dipped the beaks to make sure they weren't scared of it, as they drink it will refill. I used a full size bottle.
Takes up a lot less space for me, water stays put and they can't climb it or tip it
only needed scissors (couldn't find a toothpick to slip in there)
