welovemarmite Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I have a WIR and use the plastic drinkers that have a green bottom that you have to fill and then turn upside down. Anyway,i have a broken wrist and hubbie is going away for a week. I know I can ask a neighbour to help, but wondered if i could get a drinker that would be possible for me to fill (in situ from a jug would be perfect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 You can get bucket ones that you fill from the top but they have a lid The best thing i use that can be left in situ is a cheap washing up bowl or large sandwich box wedged in with bits of wood or bricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welovemarmite Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 ok, may try them with it and see how they like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The Omlet glugs are very easy to fill one-handed . (Sorry to hear about your wrist ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 When it's really frosty and the waterers get full of ice I use lots of ice cream tubs instead because they're easy to gather up and bring inside overnight. The chooks don't seem to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'd go for the washing up bowl option, with a brick to hold it down. Fill it up with a watering can. You should be able to carry that one handed. Sorry to hear about the wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I've got a bucket one - you can see it in my avatar. Hope you mend soon x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welovemarmite Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 thanks all, think i will go with the washing up bowl, although ice cream containers would mean going andbuying some and eating the contents first.... now that sounds a good idea!!

Griffin Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I would use washing up bowls but my frizzle Pekin (seen in my avatar) and Polands are tiny and wouldn't be able to drink from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
