I bought 2 for mychickens they are about 10" tall not huge ones, are they ok for my big mum hen as she has a bigger beak than the youngsters and I havent seen her use it so I put a stainless steal bowl out for her

I was told it would be ok but the water channel at the bottom is qiute small in depth

they only need a 1.2 inch gap to drink from ..... take the dish away or at least fill it ful of pebbles as the chicks can and wil drown in it :cry:

Yes thought of that and only put an inch or so in but it has high sides so don't think they can get anywhere near the top of it. I have seen them jump on the back step and its 3 inches high that takes all lthere energy so think this bowl is safe
thanks for the warning
