Sorry, it always makes me giggle.
Anyway,...Teehee! Sorry, it always makes me giggle.<br />Anyway, I'm afraid it's not perfect. The nipples do leak. Not that they leak on their own, but when the chickens tap them to get a drink, some of the water drips to the floor. If you can strategize placement, you might be OK. And I keep bricks under mine, and that helps. Or maybe an oil pan with sawdust could work? Definitely worth consideration, and I;ll never go back to a fountain.Anne Birdsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834796541721743227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574217133769042898.post-7391688253129214372012-10-04T16:50:41.595-07:002012-10-04T16:50:41.595-07:00So its been a few months.

I am considering "upgrading" my watering system in the coop re-model and was wondering if they have a problem with leaking (chuckle). I want to keep the waterer in the coop but don't want a wet floor. It's bad enough that my girls shake water all over the walls like a dog after every drink.

My sister asked me why I liked it. I told her it was just very forky. It was my forky fork. You seem like the kind of person that gets that, and I like that about you ;-)<br />Anyway, as far as the use of "chicken nipple", I would say try it out as a frustration expletive. Spill your cofee? Lost a document? "Chicken nipples!"<br />@MamaHen: Hilarity is one of my many goals, so for that I thank you. And for your votes, I thank you. In general?
