so, you are recommending the plastic orange ones rather than the SS metal ones? and you've used both? i think this will be the way i go. it is said to work for "game birds" and this is for coturnix quail.
thanks Model_A_tractor!
I bought ~12 of both, I only used the orange ones after staring at them both in the bag for 10 minutes, the SS ones are 2 part, the nipple comes out, if you tilt the thing you could lose the nipple. I was able to get it to stay by bending a small piece of galvanized wire into the thing but I never used it, fell in love with the orange ones. I am about to go suspend another 2 liter bottle into a brooder now give them something to do.
to me, the nipple also gives them something to do, its just a drop of water at a time, so it takes em a second to get a sip. like Dirk said very crisp and clean too...
