duck-proof chicken waterer

[safayr3]

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to keep the ducks from wasting all the chickens' water?

Nope but if someone does I'd like to know too

I would like to know too. My ducks are always grossing up my waters. Good thing they are cute.

I gave up on keeping the waterer filled and just let the chickens drink out of the duck pond (kiddie pool). I refill it every day so it's clean.

You can buy poultry water nipples from QCSupply.com, they are great...

I'd like to let everyone just drink out of the pond, but some of the chickens never go near it. And of course, the ducks drink out of EVERY water they find...

Here's the only thing I could come up with. Put the chicken water where only the chickens can reach it. Notice the ducks bowl down below. I still have to come up with a way to keep the ducks water from getting everywhere. I'm afraid the floor is going to rot!

I use horizontal nipples I ordered in buy sell and trade. They work great.

I use a piece of linoleum remnant on the floor of my coop and then cover it with chopped straw. Easy cleanup and no wet wood floor.
