Little Giant® Screw-On Poultry Jar | 1 Quart | Heavy Duty Translucent Plastic Container for Waterer or Feeder | Backyard Chickens | Made in USA

I wanted plastic because the the kids are always dropping things. I'm using them in quail chick brooders in my garage - so I bought bases that were more appropriate for quail. The problem I had is that they didn't match up to the feeders and waterers well.Pros - you can take a dremel to them if you need to reshape them a bit, and they're safer than glass.Cons - plastic will take on some smell from the birds (glass won't), not as easy to sterilize as glass. They are light enough that larger chicks may knock them over more easily than glass.Judging by the one that reshaped itself in the lower rack of my dishwasher - I would say top rack only, and leave the drying heat off...

I picked up the water and feed bases to use in the brooder box for chicks I don't have yet.The water base will be used with mason jars. We already have plenty of pint and quart size jars that will fit.If I end up getting very young chicks, I may start out with pint size mason jars on the feeder too.However, as the chicks grow, I wanted one of the plastic quart size jars to use with the feeder.Using mason jars will allow me to run them through the dishwasher after rinsing them well.This will be my first time with backyard chickens and I'm trying to prepare as much as possible before I start.I've purchased an entirely different type of feeder and a two gallon bucket with horizontal nipples to have in their run once they move to the coop. I'm only planning to use these until they're old enough to move outside.

This is the perfect container to use with my chick waterer dish. This product is made of high-quality plastic and the threads hold the bottle in nice and tight. I recommend this product. Please mark if you find my review helpful. Thank you so much!

Have bought a LOT of these over the years. Like everything else, the quality is horrible now! Flimsy cheap plastic, warps & screw on parts are difficult to put on correctly & fall off & flood brooders! Have lots 100’s of quail chicks due to the subpar, cheap plastic! Thrown away, don’t waste your time or money!

I am a person who uses plastic for absolutely nothing. I did buy this product and prefer it over using mason jars. The mason jars are heavy and can tip over and injure or kill a baby chic. The plastic are easier to screw on as well.

So this review is just for this item and not at all the company. It was to light. I got this bc the mason jar wasn’t holding enough food. But this was to light and the chics were knocking it over and making a mess. I stopped using it within a week or two.

It worked really well. I quickly learned not to fill it more than a third of the way though, because the baby quail were like, "YAY! A sand bath!" and they threw the food everywhere instead of eating most of it. So, yeah, maybe just fill it a little bit. Otherwise, it was great. Also, I'm sure if I left it, they'd eventually eat it, but let's not forget that they're pooping constantly, so you have to change the tank a lot, and you end up throwing away whatever's inside.

This polyethylene jar has very uniform thickness and tight seams. Illuminated by a 24 LED ring from the inside I get very even light visible across the production floor. The jar itself is large enough to hold the LED's, wireless microcontroller, central core reflector, and the end of a PVC support post (that runs through a 3D printed cap) while giving me a 360° light coverage.
