    Is it hazardous to ingest for chickens do you think? if not, it should be very interesting to see if it works.

    Water freezing

    Good luck! But keep checking the nipples to make sure they aren't froze up. I've seen many people say that the water on the inside was not frozen due to the heater, or tape, but that the nipples themselves were frozen. I've not seen one with vertical nipples which made it to zero. about 15...

    Water freezing

    I don't know if it is necessary or not. Probably not. However, when it warms up a little I will take the pump out and see how it goes. Since it is working for now, I'll leave it in.

    Water freezing

    Very interesting thought. I hope others will comment to share their experiences for others to learn from. A couple of my birds with larger waddles do get their whole faces in there, the edges of their waddles looked white from frostbite in the last cold snap. So I took someone else's...
