Lixit Baby Chick Feeder or Waterer (Pack of 1)

Way less messy than the standard chick feeders you get from the store. I normally have to check on chicks every couple of hours because they would kick their pine shavings into their food & water dishes.The lip on this is tall enough that it takes hours for my chicks to kick enough pine shavings into their food/water to clog it. Very sturdy compared to feeders from the store & much easier to clean as well.

We raise alot of chicks. We hatch yearly and have a lot of chicks at a time. These are great for baby chicks and even quails. It's crazy to think they can drown in their waterer but it Definitely happens. These are slanted so even if they fall asleep they don't get in the water enough to drown. They figure them out quickly and they are very affordable. Very sturdy. I break those ones from TSC and feed stores regularly. These are thick plastic that you are not going to break easily.

Living in Arizona water is as important to the wild birds as food is. I do have to fill this every day but evaporation is more to blame than anything. I may have to buy a second one to keep all the birds happy, but this is a good product and I would be happy to buy it again.

Wow! These are AWESOME! I've been buying the little water based from Tractor Supply and they hold up pretty well, but I saw these and decided to give them a try! I needed 2 waterers this time, but I went ahead and bought 3. When they got here I opened the box and these little jewels can be EITHER a feeder OR a waterer!! All you have to do is flip the base over and screw it in! SUPER EASY! Extremely functional! They're not huge, but the product description tells all that. They're perfect height for brooders! I just had 3 chicks that didn't have a mom. If you know you know. Whoever designed these obviously was familiar with the ups and downs of chicken rearing. Kudos!!

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.

This is a wonderful idea. Just what I needed for starting my baby chicks.. Use for food or water with the flip of the lid..the babies can reach in right out of the incubator. I plan on ordering another one . And the price is very reasonable. No leaking, sturdy and very versatile. A good size for my chicks.

I liked them for a day and still use them on occasion for moving chicks around from one brooder to the other. But the slot that allows water to the drinking trough portion is just a little to narrow and just one piece of wood chip stuck in there will stop the water from draining into the drinking circle for the chicks. But if you monitor it for them it will do fine because it is nice and small for holding chicks in a smaller box or something for a while.

Great quality, practical. Easy to clean. Ordered a second one.
