Heated chicken waterer winter update
Our
do it yourself heated chicken waterer froze up the other night.
It did fine earlier in the
month when it got down to 16 degrees, but it would seem like somewhere
around 10 is the "too cold" point.
Instead of increasing the length of the electric pipe heater we decided
to wrap it with Reflectix.
Maybe we'll get lucky and
have to wait till next winter to fully test out this new generation of
diy heated chicken waterers.
