On my first hatch ever, I lost a just hatched chick to drowning in the waterer. I already knew about using marbles or decorative stones in the waterer, so used them after that....but this turned out to be a pain in the neck having to clean them every day and putting them back in the waterer. So with this new batch, bought a quail waterer base and so far it's working great. It's small enough that none can drown and large enough that they can drink from easily. I'll wait another week and then go to the regular waterer base.

What does a quail waterer look like? Could someone post a pic? Thanks.

Nevermind, I googled it to see what you were talking about.

Lady: A quail waterer looks just like a regular ball jar waterer, but the base is smaller and the drinking font much more narrow; about the width of an index finger.

I used a quail waterer with my last batch of chicks and it worked perfectly!
