So since we have an in-garage coop we decided to make the food and water as clean and unobtrusive as possible. We saw somewhere that you can have water run through pipes and put nipples or cups for access, and have a large container holding water feeding into these pipes. The container is kind of supposed to sit on top of the water and create a kind of vacuum and just keep the pipes full until it’s drained. However, when we try to put the container of water into the pipes, the water leaks out and causes a mess. Now we just fill up the pipe every other day.
We would like for it to have a larger capacity for water so that we don’t have to forget to fill it up.
Does anyone know why the vacuum isn’t working? How can I fix it? Is there a simple way I can increase the capacity of water it carrys?
Here is a pic of what is should look like and here is a pic of mine.
