I looked up 'glass water feeders for chickens' because I wanted to create a healthy, reliable source of water for our local honeybee population. If I fill the bottom tray with decorative rocks & colorful glass beads, the bees can rest on them while they fill up with much needed hydration for their sisters back at the hive! <br />Thank you, thank you, 1000-times thank you for your informative, well thought out post. I will post this information on our local bee sites as well as give you credit on my blog (LeVoov.com, see Bee Cause!) for your brilliant idea!<br />Keep shining brightly, the world needs more people like you... �� �� ��<br />Beecharmerhttp://levoov.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934326041423690709.post-5821324319747671962017-05-31T15:41:19.207-04:002017-05-31T15:41:19.207-04:00Thank you for this idea!

If tipping becomes a problem. perhaps you could place the waterer in a corner of their pen and devise a removable board (or even spring-tight shower curtain rod) to fit over the top - going catty-corner from one corner wall to the other to help prevent tipping. <br />(I hope I'm making sense.)<br />Be creative! you'll find something that will work!Bulldogmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773653470602929019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934326041423690709.post-66573457244878389292017-03-04T10:24:48.041-05:002017-03-04T10:24:48.041-05:00I will be having Ducks on the farm soon and I am t...I will be having Ducks on the farm soon and I am the same way. I don't want to use any plastic and galvanized steel containers have the zinc coating that when using my natural additives to the water can deteriorate the container as well.... I need a glass feeder and watered and can't find any ANYWHERE. Very frustrating. How do I make these for my Ducks? I may have missed how it was secured so that the glass jar doesn't fall over?

I have just gotten my first baby chicks - just 3 - and my brooder waterer is one of glass and metal, made for hamsters and such. Their food is in a partial single row of a cardboard egg carton stapled to the cardboard box wall. So far, no plastic! I want to keep this going when they move to their coop. Thanks for a more affordable way of doing this than buying antique glass chicken waterers on eBay!

ACV doesn't work in metal, so glass is perfect!
