Hi! I'm new to raising chicks so I don't really have any experience. What kind of waterer do you prefer? I'm planning to order one at amazon so please tell me a waterer that is at amazon. Thanks in advance!

We have been through soooo many water jugs. Take it from me, spend a little extra to buy a nicer one and save yourself some time and money in the long run! We start our babies with the basic mason far waterer from the feed store, then when they "move out" this is what we have in our big coop.

I love our Little Giant Double Wall Fount - here is an amazon link (check whatever size you need) http://www.amazon.com/Little-Giant3...7688&sr=8-1&keywords=little+giant+water+fount

And if/when it gets cold in your area, buy a plug-in heated waterer. It saved us soooo much frustration. I broke down after 3 years and bought one, and wish I would have done it on Day 1. We have one very close to this. http://www.amazon.com/Allied-Precis...887776&sr=8-4&keywords=heated+chicken+waterer
