I have to be careful with the ice that comes out. I got it with my snow blower last year and I nearly had a heart attack. I need to keep a pile away from where we clear out, so not to hurt my snowblower or myself. That ice flies... Could break a window... I need open water for the ducks and...

I know exactly what you mean.. Stupid hawks.. I am keeping everyone in for a few days to force them to look elsewhere for food. It worked last year. Fingers crossed... Goats and geese allowed out, but everyone else is in the barn. Thankfully it is huge and plenty of room for them to spread out...

I use light in the barn during the day because it gets very dark here during the winter, and no one seems to want to venture out far. My lighting is extremely safe (NOW). All wiring is done right. I was sure of it when they rebuilt. Make sure you have an enclosed light if you are going to use...

Yes rubber bowls! That is a good way to go. The ice cube just slips out and nothing breaks. In between changing it up, they can eat snow and won't die from thirst between morning and dinner chores.

I don't recommend this. Very dangerous. I'm the fire hazard police. Could very well have been the source of orgin of my fire that burned down my barn. It shocked us a few times, and the fire Marshall told us how dangerous this is. Products MUST be fire safe when you deal with water and...
