Just got a new 3 gallon waterer (plastic), and the water keeps pouring out. I have always had 1 gallon waterers so I don't know if this is because it is a larger one or what. Any suggestions on how to fix would be appreciated otherwise I will be returning it tomorrow.

Yesterday morning I went out to the coop to let our 11 hens out and when I opened up the door and went in there were 3 dead. 2 were killed and left there and the third was killed and partially eaten. There were no signs of where it got in or how, so we spent half of the day reinforcing our coop...
