5 gal better bottles in a 5 gal bucket? Nice. I just have the standard chick waterers

Thats what i had but my ducks would knock it down and I have a 2 year old that follows me everywhere so it cut down on my haul. It was easy to make, its just the 5 gallon jug with a pvc pipe that holds it up and a bucket with holes cut out. My ducks love it, i put lettuce or other treats in the bucket and they play with it. I love my ducks even if by some odd chance i got 2 boys!

No they'll likely live separate. My duckies are only like 5 or 6 days old and the chickens are 13 weeks and 10 weeks now. I have 2 Pekin and 4 Khaki Campbell. Once they start to show sex I'll probably get rid all but 1 male. My long term goal is to have hatching eggs from my chickens and ducks.

Here's 2 of the 4 Khakis. They're in a towel on my lap in this picture. They are really dependent on each other and don't like being separated off very much.
