Just a warning to anyone else about the dumb mistake I made so you won't do it. It could be everyone's smarter than this without me mentioning it.
Two little chicks about a month old flew up and down inside the galvanized waterer in their cage while I was away at work and I found them both drowned. I've had the lid off it ever since it's been in the cage with them without incident and today, wham! Of course it's been off because it was easy to squirt water inside with the cage top still closed. I'm still mad at myself for not recognizing the threat this could be for them and not preventing their deaths. Very mad and sad for those two chicks, one light brahma, one little something else cochin.
