@Kiki I did follow your first post link. Thank you.

Volume of feed is a consideration - chicken vs quail.

Also still searching/wondering about using a waterer "head" for rough crumble feed?

Particularly given @aart comment "used a dremel grinder to make the opening in the trough larger so crumble would get thru".

It appears you can attach the head, in the link, to a larger 2 liter bottle too.

What do you mean by "volume?
The amazon title "Poultry Chickens Quail Bird" is vague, think it means it could be used with any of those.

I opened it up in this area shown in red.
Was plenty big for the Flock Raiser crumble.

If you know anyone with a 3D printer there are a lot of prints for them online. We made our own, looks ver similar to the one @aart uses. I’ve used it as a waterer. I plan to take a dremel to it soon for crumble.

Don't you have a relative in the US who could order them for you then mail?

I once was going to mail something to @Wickedchicken6 up in Canada...something small.
It was going to be close to $100 dollars.

Might want to think about switching to HN's.
Much easier to deal with in winter and have other advantages, like crate waterers.

I made a DIY 5 gallon pail with horizontal nipples. I had issues with freezing, I believe when our power went out. I recall leaking nipples and my pail spit where the nipples were screwed in.

Quality of nipples? Pail too big? Poultry farmer?

Yes. A $15 bag of PDZ had $80 shipping last time I looked. Cheaper for me to drive to Ogdensberg NY and use UPS Pickup point.

No relatives in the US.
