Lixit Baby Chick Feeder or Waterer (Pack of 1)

These are perfect for new chicks. I have several waterers and have to put marbles in them to keep chicks from falling in and drowning. These are he right side, the trough is small enough to keep the chicks from falling in and large enough they all found the water right away. It holds about a quart of water and doesn't get quite so much bedding into the water. The flip side is just right for food, keeping the chicks from kicking it all out of the feeder.

These are great and work as stated. Just be careful of which side of the lid you twist on , as one side of the lid is to be used for food, and the other water. If you use the food side by mistake the water will spill out when you turn the waterer/feeder over to be used. Another thing is they don’t have the cute chick designs on the outside of them like the photos have. The containers just look like empty peanut butter jars.

Ideal for our baby ducky. You need to fill the RESERVOIR to the tip top to avoid all of the water escaping when you invert it over for use. The water loss surprised me and I would recommend putting it together over a large sink, bathtub, or outdoors.

I really like this water feeder for our chicken Deborah in her pet play pen, now I want to get the water feeder/water fountain ⛲️, when our daughter got the water holder unscrewed I added water tightened it turned it over it filled it just enough n it did not overflowed.

This product is well made and works as intended. However I don’t think it took into consideration that small chickens and quails are messy animals, at least my two button quails are. They have no problem eating and drinking from this feeder/waterer (I bought 1 for each purpose), but I would find poop in the water almost daily. The large water tray allowed them to stand in it and drink while poop at the same time. Yuck! I have noticed that there’s less poop in the feeder tray than the waterer tray; perhaps they’re using the waterer tray as a bath, I don’t know. Solid poop in feed is not too bad, at least my button quails have enough sense to eat around it, and like I mentioned there’s a lot less poop in the feeder tray than in the waterer tray. But poop in water is not ok. I had to dump out poopy water, wash out the tray and container, and refill it with fresh water EVERYDAY, rendering its large capacity useless. Originally I had intended to use this large capacity feeder and waterer to sustain my two button quails while I’m gone for up to 2 weeks, but now I’m looking at waterer nipples to supply fresh water. I will continue to use the feeder, but I think using a tray contraption to provide water is a bad idea as I suspect chicks and quails small enough to get in it will use it as a bath and contaminate the drinking water.

These little feed/waterers are so handy. They work with water or food. I use them to keep my free-range new mommas hydrated. They can be anywhere on the ranch and the new chicks need a drink. So I can plop one down full of water near them and they chicks go to town. They are perfect for my tiny chicks.

It does not hold water well , this is best for food not for water . when you turn it around you loose half of the water.

This is so much better than those orange ones that fall apart. You can use as a feeder or flip the top than use it for water. Has an twist on twist on method.
