Waterer is about 4" tall. Got them from an eBay seller. 6 waterers for $14 included shipping. They are absolutely 'drown proof'.
They probably would work in a wire cage where you could use the straps to hold the waterer in place but with my brooders I'd be afraid they would knock it over and make a wet mess out the brooder in short order!
Be careful removing the chicks, they like to run out of your hands. I usually pick up only 1 at a time to make sure I don't drop them. Make sure their walking surface is even more grippy than for coturnix, they get splayed legs easily.Is anyone else incubating Button quail eggs? I got roughly a dozen and a half today. They are way tinier than I expected, and oh my, the colour! They're like olives. How does one remove the chicks from the incubator without squishing them? Even the coturnix are incredibly fragile, and these eggs are half their size, easy.
It works becuz she knows if she makes me i really would lock the doors. Theres bottled water in the fridge outside. And yes we live in the sauna state So i dont Ever do this from 11 - 4 during the hottest part of the day. That would be cruel i avoid the heat myself. Though, when i was a kid my dh n i were jus talkn about this w brother in law, we didnt care, cuz we played in it all day everyday the trampline and the clubhouse were the best we had, then we got a pool? It was On. Yes i do take her mental health into consideration. She hasnt had a real easy rd. No this isnt new though, she Lives for screens and has all the yrs ive been here. She threatens to move hundreds of miles away in college so its a cooler climate. I do take away the electronics, and she has to earn that privilege w one chore each day. I am strict, but up til 6 months ago she skipped every bath she could get away with. I still tell her about her teeth everyday.
