This is the best waterer for chicks. You can set it up with any soda bottle, big & small, and it holds quite a bit of water -- more than it meets the eye.
Patti T from New York
Real nice sturdy waterer,easy to keep clean, chicks love it. The only problem i'm having is that the 2-liter soda bottles are made thin and this causes a vacuum seal and collapses the water bottle. I am going to try a glass bottle.

Great waterers for the price, handy to have, even using one for the guinea pig. The bottle is just deposited on the base, so you cannot pick the whole thing up by the bottle , that is perhaps a little inconvenient for some folks.

Great little wateres to have on hand. For that price you can't go wrong. We are even using one for the guinea pig!
