Chick Waterer

These models are for a chicken waterer for standard-mouth (some refer as small-mouth) and wide-mouth canning jars (pint, quart, 1/2 gallon). These could also be used for other small pets. These work best when raising chicks during their first 3 months or so of life. I used a ½ gallon wide-mouth jar which provided sufficient water for my 8 chicks. Quart jars also work well. Pint jars will work but probably don't hold a sufficient amount of water unless you only have 1 or 2 chicks. I continued to use when the chickens got older but changed out for a 15-gallon system with PVC and water cups so that I didn't have to fill or clean as often. I've printed in both PLA and PETG however most filament types will work well. 4 or more wall loops will ensure the jar threads don't break away when tightening jar. A tight seal of the Jar to the Waterer is not required or recommended and will work as intended if only finger tight.
