Can quail use this waterer?

[QuailTail]

Hey everyone! Will coturnix quail be able to use this waterer? Alternatively can anyone suggest something I can use that will hold enough water that it won't need refilling every day for around 10 quail?

Thanks in advance!

They should be able to use it. I got similar waterers and they are working great.

Oh, that one looks good - I've been trying to find one I can attach on the outside of the aviary like that! Did you get it online?

What about nipple waterers? Has anyone had success with those for quail?

I just have a 5 gallon bucket with a connection on the bottom that hooks to a feed hose to similar cups.
I bought them from wynola ranch.

Fresh water everyday is a must for healthy birds. Quail tend to poop in or near the waterers.

My quail use nipple waterers, they can use them without issue starting at about 3 weeks. I have large containers, like UTZ pretzel container, that I put nipples on, and it lasts 12-15 quail 3+ days easily. I bought mine from amazon, rent a coop brand. Rent a coop also has excellent cup style waterers that fill automatically with a weighted mechanism in the cup, so the birds don’t need to press a bar in the cup. I use those for chicks that are 2-3 weeks old, and for my blind birds.
