In the Brooder
I thought that might be the problem too, but no leaks. The chickens are really kind of biting the nipple instead of pecking it or drinking a droplet that is already suspended. They are fierce!IME, the "water party" is quite brief and then it's old news and they just drink from the nipple when thirsty. If you're having ongoing issues with moisture underneath, I'd suspect a leak where the nipple meets container.
