Building an Automatic Waterer for the Quail.

The quail have been going through their water extremely fast in this hot weather. Today we are going to build them an automatic watering system using poultry drip waterers.

Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 5 new videos every week! Tuesday through Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

Hi Kevin , Also available from Amazon are 1/2" sched 40 pvc tees that are sized and threaded to accept the chicken / rabbit nipples. No drilling required ! You simply decide on the spacing between the nipples and cut the 1/2 pvc pipe to create that spacing. Assemble and you are done. My chickens are outside in a chicken tractor that has a shelter , roosts , and nesting boxes. I collect the rain water from the shelter ( coop ) roof and direct it to the five gallon bucket and it goes from there to the nipples. I get rain often enough that the bucket has never gone dry . My feed set up is on the opposite side and I fill it once a week. The feeder is below the coop so it is more or less protected from the rain. Depending upon which way the wind is blowing. Everything is contained within the chicken tractor which has wheels. Two minutes each day or every other day to move the chicken tractor to a new position. The part that takes me the longest usually is collecting eggs.

Thanks for sharing. The water system. look very economy.

[@jonpaul2769]

Great video... pigs are too funny.. Thanx.

[@annettecastellanosguillen9491]

Quail are awesome they have such unique personalities they love cilantro too. Just make sure you have one male to 4-5 females. The male can be pretty mean...with each other when fighting separate them. Oh yeah and they are fast exciting the cagelol

[@loriehabel1552]

Pigs are so smart. Nice waterer👍

[@teriguerin8371]

I love starting my morning with Billy Graham, Joni Eareckson Tada, and my friends Kevin and Sarah.

[@swianecki]

Love those little pigs. They play just like puppies. Great watering system.

[@snapstring3134]

You'll have to give us an update date on the waterer

[@happyhoppershomestead8664]

I love learning new things and I have learned so much from both of you. We closed on our own homestead yesterday 12.3 acres in Londell mo I am so excited to start trying things I've learned. Thanks for making time for us in your day I love it and look forward to every video!!!

[@CBsGreenhouseandGarden]

Happy pigs and loving their new home is awesome. Great job done on the new watering system! Hope you folks have a great weekend!

[@caewalker9276]

Our pigs used to love the basketball to play with. Great watering system. Thanks for sharing.

[@troypimenta3883]

Your quail videos have been very helpful...thanks. best regards

[@WendyK656]

Funny pig! good job Kevin, with the quail. Looking forward to see if the quail uses it.

[@hitnspit]

This is by far the best way to water any birds. Keeps water clean. I have a set up I think you would like but can’t seem to paste a pic in comments. I will try sending to your Facebook page a bit later.

[@samfinn8397]

very nice

[@rhodz.md.]

Very good tutorial! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is valuable to us who have no idea how to DIY. 😊

[@foodlife1652]

Awww the pigs are so cute

[@50shadesofgreen]

🐐🐷🐓🐔🍓 good day to you Kevin and Sarah !! thanks for sharing another awesome update on the homestead !! 🍓🐔🐓🐷🐐

[@browncoathomestead2080]

THANKS FOR SHARING ANOTHER GREAT DIY PROJECT FOR THE HOMESTEAD SHARED IT WITH MY FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK THANKS AND HAVE A GREAT AND BLESSED DAY :-)

[@bcoholquin2798]

Wow the pigs look a lot bigger

[@robertlovesdogs4824]

Good morning 👍👍✌

[@rawusnews]

This is exactly what I had in my mind and I'm glad I found your video

[@dr.froghopper6711]

Good job Kevin! Blessings!

[@kimmartin2522]

That was pretty neat!

[@jerryshomestead3967]

Nice!!

[@cajungardener6044]

Great Job Kevin! Never raised Quail but I think I could with your videos! Thanks

[@juanitahaleyfrizzell2191]

Love your ingenious DIY projects, Kevin! 👍

[@jandjmca]

To stay on cheap side, drill holes first ,then heat end of pvc pipe and squease in vise to close ends, then get ice maker tube and two fittings, put one on the back of longer pvc, then for mounting use saw to cut 1.5 inch long pieces for mounting split those pieces and heat to expand ,and to go over longer pipe for mounting drill and heat to go over pvc pipe use them for mounting couple of drywall screws and ready to go

[@suehinson1629]

Great idea, cleaner water for them and less work for you.....a win, win! I have seen people give their pigs those horse balls (I don't know what their true name is. Lol) and rope dog toys and they play just like kids. But I think I remember them telling me that the pigs eventually ate the rope. Lol. We have put up an old tire, like you would to make a swing, for ours to push around at times of boredom. Just if you do, beware of the height, make sure they can't try to climb through like ours and get stuck..... thank goodness we were still observing for possible mishaps when it happened! Wish we had of caught those following 30 minutes on video! It would have been a hit on AFHV! Thanks for sharing and God bless!

[@michaelkalbow2142]

I just saw the part of a later video where you talk about starting to incubate your quail for the first time, and I noticed that you changed to the watering cups versus the square nozzle things. An update about that would be nice considering you suggested in this video to use the ones you did that are in your amazon store....

[@robertrabhudsonhornet5869]

that one pig Love's that bag

[@charmainemontgomery582]

Nice water system!

[@JaySmith-rd6kh]

Keeping it Dutch has the new improved feeder..

[@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia]

The 2 strand electric fence seams to be working great for you guus i cant wait to pasture raise our pigs. Thanks for what you guys are doing we learn so much from yall

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

That's awesome thanks for sharing!

[@oddopops1327]

😃

[@PineBrookeHomestead]

You have some of the coolest ideas, Kevin. Next spring when I get quail again, I'll have to come back to this. Maybe even rig one up for les chickens!

[@ky_million2396]

been checking everyday for more quail videos, i know you guys havent had them long, just wanted to say im looking foward to the knowledge once you're able to pass it

[@MacboatASU]

I used the same poultry nipples for quails they are too rigid! The quails don’t have enough pecking force to get water out of it.

[@uddercharmsfarm8159]

Ok here is a series I'm impatiently waiting for....quail everything! My husband loves quail but I've never raised them. Can you do a batch for meat in a Mobil chicken tractor?? I built the lumnah acres chicken tractor with all the accessories which includes the bucket with those nipples. Wondering if this type of setup can be used for quail? If so I'll build another one!

[@JaySmith-rd6kh]

Most of mine cracked tried Teflon same thing ended up with pvc glue and caulk then found out that they make the 1/2” tees in pvc...would have saved allot of time and frustration.

[@audreynanapreps2543]

How did sarah like her surprise

[@williammann6198]

They are eating the bag.

[@kimberlycleveland1816]

Those pigs are cracking me up! Hey Kevin, I use that watering system for our quail! After a short few months, mine did leak at the barb so I eventually did add plumbers tape. God bless!

[@normamccomas9272]

y'all have a great day!

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

Ok great video. We need this. Just built a quail habitat!! Looks like our son has a new project!!! Would you do anything different?

[@donaldmann8193]

I just found your channel, the first video i watched was you moving the pigs to the bigger area with electric fencing. I remember you saying the only draw back is you dont have running water in that area so you have to bring buckets of water. I have found on KZbin videos of people showing how to dig 12’ wells and it seems to work well and is simple with some elbow grease. Just a thought

[@irenec.4086]

Would you consider selling a ready to assemble kit with all parts needed, except for the 18"pvc, clear tubing, and bucket. It's hard for me to focus and find the parts separately and a kit would be most helpful.

[@ChristopherWKwan]

Where’s your follow up video mate?

[@debrabarnett7511]

How are the quail doing? Have you started processing any yet? If so could you share some information on them? Example, how many needed per person. How long from egg to processing age, etc... We would like to expand our homestead meat options. Thank you.

[@keithzastrow]

Now if there was one that wouldn't freeze for those of us with quail way up north......

[@joeybeckyphillips722]

I can't find the Amazon link for the nipple waterers? Thanks for the video!

[@gregbabin365]

Debating on this style vs cup style...how did you decide? Have you been satisfied with these? Thanks

[@donaldmiller8629]

@Greg Babin , I use the cup style. My chickens seem to prefer being able to drink rather than just sip.

[@lindalopizzo8221]

You aught to give them some dog toys, something to play with

[@TheFlamingEyeball]

How well did this end up working? I'm just building my cages getting ready to start.

[@Cleo_In_The_Wild]

I’m wondering that too! It looks like later he switched to the cup version. I need to make one pronto because I’m sick on washing the quart sized waterers daily. 😆

[@missysarr2476]

Question how much Apple cider vinegar do you put in a 5 gallon water for the quail

[@mike1968442]

It looks like the quails legs will go through the wire spacing?

[@BNM-b7t]

Great content! How do you keep it from freezing in winter? Ty

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

We don’t use them in the winter.

[@BNM-b7t]

@@LivingTraditionsHomestead what watering method do you use in winter? Ty

[@caroltaylor4058]

Is there any reason I couldn’t use 1 inch pvc pipe. I have some leftover from a previous project

[@athyvandenberg289]

Hi Kevin, Are you keeping the quails for the eggs or do you also eat them?

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

We are keeping them for both but they aren't laying yet.

[@athyvandenberg289]

I hope they are then laying quickly as they need to earn their keep. LOL

[@shelleymessier1494]

No that is not the first retrieving pig are used to play soccer with my pigs and they will bring the ball back to me for a swig of beer lol

[@LatinDanceVideos]

Link to the update video?

[@BIGestBUCK]

Hey Kevin,,, What kind of quail are those?

[@macrominutes]

Corturnix

[@josephbmitchell1862]

Kevin, buddy, you do not look well. Its in your eyes. Have you seen the doctor lately? You have me worried. [Video on quail waterer from aug 17 2018]

[@MrVailtown]

Why no roost branch ?

[@mahmoudkobbara9838]

hi can u please tell us more about quail :) how u bread them or what kind of food they eat ....i wana start rasing them for meat

[@michaelb41]

Don't overpay for bestbuy sux ballss.

[@richardscarlett7942]

thats not really a bung, its a bulkhead fitting. Would be better off using barbed 90's

[@jerrypeacock5166]

Careful, that pig will become a pet. Makes it tuffer to put in freezer.

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

We won't have a problem with that. 😊 Been harvesting our own meat for years.

[@bonotheist]

Damn; this guy is sexy.
