fluffyknickers Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Anybody else had glug problems? My glug that came with my cube has broken and does not keep the water in as leaks so all the run is wet and the chickens thirsty as I am at work so cant keep refilling it and the small bowl I have put in there. I have emailed Omlet so I am sure it will be sorted. Has anyone had the same problem? Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I'd give them a ring to be honest as e-mails often get lost in the spam box. At least you should get a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa33 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Is it a superglug? Mine leaked and I replaced the nipples as they just screw off. (oh er!) Now it's fine. Give Omlet a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Yeah itsa superglug and I now know which 'nipple' it is and its now really coming out but I have had no choice other than to put it in this morning with a bucket under it as at work. I feel like a bad chicken mummy as when i went ot let them out this morning I put a bowl in with water and they all went to it and didnt stop til it was empty. I will call them later. I am wondering if a normal glug would be better? michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 What a shame Michelle..... given the choice I thin any chook prefers to drink from the top of something. Mine stand on a perch to do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 I am getting new nipples from Omlet ( ) and will have to see how it goes. If it still leaks will ask to have it replaced with smaller glug. Would like a smaller glug as well but cant spend any more money on chickens at the moment. QUICK CLUCK - how are the girls baldy bums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Ahhhhhhhh thanks for asking, but still bald. 3 have bumper bits on now and we do have some regrowth which is a real positive step We have also taken the compost out of the run and just have elephant grass incase that wasn't helping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoebe Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I have switched to a glug from super glug for the same reason (leaking nipple) but am not happy as the water in the glug just gets filthy and I think it must be bad for the hens ? Its a mixture of standing on the glug and kicking easibed into the glug that does the damage, but I am not sure how to avoid that. I am thinking of going back to the super glug (though the girls prefer the glug) so i may have to ask for some new nipples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Mine leaked so put bowl under to catch water then when iced up part of one nipple broke so my OH screwed it down so two worked and I put it low so they could drink out of the top but they just kept sitting on top and it was filthy. I changed to a 5 L bell drinker put on a few bricks and am pleased with that. I ought to ring Omlet just haven't got round to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
