Mary Ann, I haven't set mine up yet but I'm read several places to slowly drip water over the nipple drinkers so that the chickens can see the drops of water falling and become interested. You may have already tried this, but I decided to mention it just in case you haven't.
Best wishes,
Ed

I agree with the "estimated" shipping costs being high...I just checked and for 12 of these nipples the estimate was $10.51 for *regular* shipping...not priority. Seems they may be trying to make a profit on the shipping.
