My Nipple waterers are leaking in the new coop---Please help

Hello

I got the threaded nipples. I work in a harwdare store so I was messing with grommets...rubber washers....nuts....

I used a rubber fender washer on both sides of the bucket threaded the nipple through and an "electrical lamp nipple nut" fits the thread PERFECTLY!

No leaks....Happy Chickens....Happy chicken farmer!

Dripping doesn't seem to be an issue with mine. The "girls" drink every bit of water they get from the nipple. Not a whole lot comes out at once, so they can get it all. I have 3 nipples in the coop and 4 in the run and they all work perfectly! It is the easiest and cleanest waterer around. Oh, mine are push ins too. Sounds like the way to go!
