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. If you don't have canning jars, Goodwill usually has
