Freezing temperatures will be
here before you know it, so now's a great time to figure out how you'll
keep your chickens hydrated during the cold winter months. Our do it yourself
chicken waterer kit includes six pages of instructions walking you
through building
various heated chicken waterers with $20 to $50 of
additional supplies.
Our favorite option
involves sandwiching
heat tape between two buckets, but those of you with less
DIY experience might want to buy a pre-made
heated bucket and
install our chicken nipples in the bottom. Stock tank
deicers can work
in mild to moderate climates.
We also offer tips on maintaining
an unheated chicken waterer over the winter. We spent years simply
bringing our pre-made
chicken waterers in
each night when we gathered the eggs and putting them out with fresh
water in the morning, so that option isn't as tough as it sounds.

chicken waterer options, check out the links below.
