![]() The best way I’ve found is to wedge the bottom between my feet, line up the notched on the base with the divots on the top and give it a quick, sharp twist. It can also tricky be to get the base on and off. It’s not that big of deal out in the barn (let’s face it, water is way nicer than most of the things on that floor!) but on the porch it makes the concrete floor a bit hazardous.Īnd it really sucks when it happens in the kitchen or all over your clothing. It is impossible to flip them without getting water all over. I never do it with chickens but it’s a good idea for guinea keets. Side note: You can add marbles or clean stones to the waterer base to help keep the chicks out. I only use them in the brooders or my broody pens because they’re the right size and the shallow channels keep the chicks from climbing in and drowning or getting chilled. To fill this style of waterer you flip it upside down, unscrew the red part, fill with water, screw the base on and flip it right side up. You can also buy plastic lids that screw onto mason jars that work the same way. ![]() Most two pice plastic waterers have a red base and an opaque white upper bucket but I’ve also seen them in white & green. I have a pile of them in slightly varying shapes. Two piece gravity fed waterers are the standard choice for providing water to a backyard flock of chickens. It might seem like the geese and ducks are splashing just to make a huge mess but they actually need to be able to dunk their faces and clear their nostrils in the water. Things get messy (so, so, so messy) when you add waterfowl, keep that in mind when planning your dream flock. They all require water, especially in the summer when the temperatures are out of control. Right now I have chickens, turkeys, guineas, geese and ducks in my flock. There are two groups of barnyard birds, the waterfowl, ducks & geese (maybe swans if you’re a special kind of crazy) and the land fowl, aka chickens, turkeys & guineas. If you live in the desert this might not work for you. All of this advice is based on my personal experiences. Over the years I’ve tried different things for water so today I wanted to break down a few different styles of waterer, what they’re good for, and where they fall short.ĭisclaimer: I live in the North East and I swear it never stops raining so water isn’t hard to come by here.
