Help with nipples, please!

YEah, this seller on ebay seems to be the only one who has these. I've seen it on other websites, but it redirects to ebay. Here's the link, if you're interested:

I'm going with the hanging bucket style because it's a whole lot easier to keep from freezing than pipe. And, FWIW, I'm using a small bucket in the brooder and there is NO dripping even with 10 feathered toddlers. The drip catch is completely unnecessary for layer and dual breeds.

I love the push in nipples especially for chicks since they make such a mess. I use a big empty apple juice jug, drill two holes in the bottom of one edge push in the rubber grommet, then the nipple, punch a little hole in the top and fill it up. I start them on these when they are about a week old and they take right to it!
