Leaking waterers

BINGO!

Hang it if at all possible. Even if that means having to give chicks steps to stand on.

Still not able to hang it just yet but they'll be moving outside soon!

It is on the lower side but still dumped almost three gallons in a couple hours

That is a really lot. I'd probably replace it. If I tried to fix it, I'd start with taking it apart, cleaning each piece so a crack would be easier to find and to make sure nothing is caught in the threads, if it has some. Turn the top upside down, fill with water, see if the top holds water. Fill the bottom with water, see if it hold the water. Check if the hole is in the right place. Check if the hole has worn bigger.

Done all of that and it happens with two of them
