I have a watered now but it's just a bucket with a few holes. It works fine but my rhode reds are always walking through it, does anyone have any better ideas? I heard about the chicken nipples but no one sells them around where I live

You can buy chicken waterer cups.  They work great and make watering much easier.

If you buy them with paypal, you have buyer protection where you can get your money back if anything goes wrong.

I got my nipples from this place as many on the board have. http://www.qcsupply.com/farm-livestock/waterers/nipple-waterers/420006-poly-threaded-body-nipple.html    You could order over the phone or ask for a catalog if you don't want to order online but maybe you would want to let yourself experiment with a small online order from an established company. 4 nipples with shipping to me was $7.71 so not much risk. I have no connection with them other than this. From their site........

From its humble beginnings in a garage, selling livestock products to local producers in 1982, QC Supply has grown into an International distributor to farms, businesses and resellers worldwide.

QC offers thousands of brand names, as well as hard-to-find products. QC has its own, patented line of clothing (Five Rock), fans (Durafan) and heaters (Scorpion). Customers return to QC for in-house technical support experts trained in a wide variety of products. These experts are able to answer technical questions, aid customers in product selection and support after the sale. This level of customer assistance is a primary differentiator from competitors.

Headquartered in Schuyler, NE, QC Supply is comprised of a call center, retail store and the largest of 3 warehouses. Other warehouses are located in Missouri and Oklahoma. The recent acquisition of Gillis Ag resulted in distribution sites in Iowa and Minnesota. A second retail store is located in Elkhorn, NE. All of these locations give QC a closer presence and an ability to more quickly serve customers.

Your friends must all have incredibly bad luck. I've been shopping online a ton for at least 10 yrs and never been ripped off that I can remember.
