Last week I bought a Little Giant feeder (22# capacity) and a Little Giant waterer (5 gal capacity). I really like the feeder but so far the waterer sucks!!! I don't know if it's defective or what but I take the little cap thingy off and it slowly starts to flow into the bottom like it should, but then it continues to trickle after it's full. This will make a mess in my coop in a hurry! So I've been putting the cap back on, but then I have to go out 2x each day to take the cap off and let it fill back up. Thankfully they're small and it's been cooler, so they haven't been going through as much water so this temporary fix is working for now, but I'll be darned if I'm going to spend $40 on a waterer that doesn't work right!
Does anyone else have this waterer and like it? Perhaps mine is just defective and a replacement would work better. Or do I need to look for something altogether different?
FWIW, I like the idea of the nipple waterers, but they look a little complicated for me and I'm not sure that I can make them work through the winter. We don't get super cold here but we've been known to dip below zero every now and then.
TIA,
