I have a plastic bucket nipple waterer, and it has started to freeze ... so it's time to find a solution to
keep the water warm. Colder temps are coming, we get down to below zero at night here for weeks at time.
Anyone here heating a similar type of waterer setup, and what are you using ? Bird bath deicer seems like the best, but just want to be sure
I am not going to start a fire ... melt the bucket with such a heater ?
For my 5 gallon metal water I followed this video, and this setup has worked terrific so far, I have the 60W light bulb on a timer for 8 hours thru the night.
Thanks,
Zekii
