I had been using the push-in nipples from Farm-Tek in a plastic quart bottle with no problem in their brooder.
Now, I put them in the coop yesterday and I bought 2-Gallon pails (I have 7 chickens) and put the threaded type nipples in those.
There is 4 nipples on the bottom. 1 or 2 are leaking from where the pail meets the nipple & 1 is leaking directly from the nipple itself. My guy tightened up the ones around the seal, but I dont know if that will last...
What the heck? I used these with no problems before & we drilled the holes to the specifications required.
ANybody have this problem or have any advice how I go about fixing it?
Am I doing something wrong??
Thank you,
Laura
