"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

Glad I could help!

The cap on the end of the pipe isn't glued, so I can remove it to drain/flush the pipe. I couldn't find the tee fittings locally, so I ordered them online,

http://www.1pvc.com/PVC-schedule-40/pvc40-Reducing-Tee-Slip-x-Slip-x-FPT/402071.html

Since I had 10 nipples, I just went ahead and ordered 10 fittings @ 72 cents each... Will use them eventually. These fittings also work with the other type water nipples too.

I also needed some other fittings to connect the pipe to the bucket, will post more info on that when I can look it up.

I used a fitting like this to attach the pvc pipe to the bucket. The fitting is threaded on the inside and a 1/2" pvc thread adapter will screw right into it. Also I did not glue the thread adapter to the pipe so it could be easily separated for bucket cleaning



Here is a link to the bulkhead fitting on Amazon

Egg production is down, and I've been suspecting a snake. Went to check the boxes for a snake this morning and instead found a dead chick. not sure wgat happened. It was pretty flat. It's bloody around it's eye, so maybe it got pecked too hard? I think they're too old to be crushed by the hens...

Thanks.

I know it's a part of "farm life," but it's still not something like to see. I couldn't find any evidence of trauma... though admittedly not totally sure I'd know what to look for beyond obvious wounds. It was fine and healthy yesterday.

Oh well. There are 22 others. Plus the full bator.

Just witnessed a coyote try to nab a chicken underneath the fence. The front gate was WIDE open. Luckily everyone was in the yard. Crisis narrowly averted. :/ That was way too close for comfort.
