What kind of waterer will actually last more than a few hours?
I have 5 ducklings. They are about 3 weeks old. The person I got them from recommended to take a tupperware and cut a hole in the lit just big enough to fit their mouth. It worked, but it only lasts an hour. I am not into refilling their water every hour. So I moved to a 1 gallon waterer that I use when raising chicks. Yea that only lasts a few hours as well.

What is the best waterer for ducklings?
 
I ended up using an old cat littler jug with a hole cut on the side. You can look though my pics for ideas. Pretty keep the same idea of the Tupperware container with the lid just go bigger. A chick waterer will not work because they will just fling the water and they cannot clean out their nares. They need to be able to get their whole heads in the water.
