Here is a video of me drinking the water, I drank it in two stages, because I guess I can't read pint. So, I drank a cup and a half and then another cup an a half. I also did a follow up at the end about 5 hours later showing I was feeling fine. I added Time Stamps into the video if you want to skip ahead.

This is one of my spring, the ducks, chickens and bunnies can all use the water source. ( I sometime use it to when I don't have my water bottle on me.)

Note: Bravo!  I had to look at your other BB to see that it was in fact your waterer.

I got chicks again!!
We made them some magic water in a half gallon jug (1cup honey, handful of minced garlic cloves) and then I remembered the recipe also called for apple cider vinegar, so added in a splash directly into the waterer.
That garlic was a little strong and right up front, but the chickies are able to drink around/only eat them if they want.
