I guess I never think of that so I never remember to mention it. I use nipple waterers from day one, so I don't face that. But good point!I learned that you should get a quail waterer the hard way. Or at least put marbles in the waterer to prevent drowning.
Thanks blooie. I had a silkie chick drown and it really bothered me. Hi felt so dumb for not thinking about them drowning. But being new to chickens I really didn't know. It happened fast too. I walked in one room and ten minutes latter come back to find it drowned. I tried cpr believe it or not. I felt and still feel terrible about it. Lesson learned. Thank God for all of you experienced people that are willing to share your information. Y'all have helped me so much. @Blooie you've helped me a lot and probably don't realize it. Thank you so much.I guess I never think of that so I never remember to mention it. I use nipple waterers from day one, so I don't face that. But good point!
