not right away... they climb into anything... even a used pie plate will do

I have the water in a rubermaid container. And the food in a chick feeder. But there heads have doubled in size so the feeder wont work for long. I have tin pie tins. Would those work?

Hmm maybe! I hope the one with the symbol on its head is a girl. But her quack is definitely Toxic. She starts and doesnt stop for 2 minutes

so maybe "Car-Alarm" as a name?

i go through my kitchen cupboards and just try anything until something works. Most of my chicken food bowls are now things I saved from the recycling bin. (I do multiple bowls to lower the fighting) They are eating in everything from take-out plastic to margarine to ice cream containers.

I have plenty of sherbert containers from over the years.

free works! you can always cut them to lower the sides if needed.

Also... secret trick? If they are good at tipping them over, put them one inside the other and inside the bottom one put something heavy (like rocks, marbles, anything) It makes a heavy bottom, and that makes it harder to tip over. I often use old pots as the bottom (with rocks) and put little food bowls inside

hey! did you also get the pool skimmer tool it would be totally useful for scooping up babies when you need cuddle time (yeah, they may be traumatized, but so cool to watch them sitting in the skimmer)

No, but I think we already have one for our pool!
