EASY and CHEAP foolproof quail chick waterer!!!

[Jdlovesthis]

Hey all!
I ended up with quail chicks and zero clue how to care for them, and unfortunately I did lose one to drowning, EVEN with the tiniest rivulet of water in a chick waterer and marbles. SO, that created a need for a better solution, and fast, as the stores were closed. Check this out: a mini ice tray is PERFECT!!
Silicone, easy to clean, the holes are small enough they walk right on the the tray and drink from the holes!!!

Good luck, always gotta share when I find a great accidental solution!!

How fast does it get dirty? That's why I like parakeet waterers. They can't drown in them and the opening is small enough that while they CAN poop in them, it doesn't happen immediately so I'm not cleaning them every hour.

I always just used the quail chick waterer bases.

Nice idea but They make a huge mess quickly with open waterers, I use a hamster water bottle and they are trained within 24 hours, no mess, no mortality!

I have one similar to your pic OP. It gets dirty real quick @Nabiki.

I bought a few of these for when the new babies hatched. Based on my experience of the 3 I've used the picture shared by The Moonshiner is the best one. It doesn't get as dirty as the others, holds a good volume of water and no drowning. I'll buy more of the quail water base ones in future.

That little green one is the same as the ones I use. The link that I posted is to a pack of them.
