All - we have this waterer:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016AO5GAI/

It's made by RentACoop, and we're very happy with it.

Now we're looking for a heater set up for it. The Amazon page suggests we get the RentACoop heater base but I have no idea where to find it. I would appreciate any suggestion for a good heater for this waterer.

(Not looking for a DIY solution at this point, thank you.)

Many thanks!

I made a bucket waterer that looks almost exactly like the one you have. The only difference is I just put one nipple on mine, otherwise they are virtually identical. (I'm currently only watering three hens with mine.)

I put mine on top of this heater: http://www.strombergschickens.com/p...ric-fount-heater/Winter-Supplies-For-Chickens and it works great. We have not yet had SUPER cold weather, but we've been down to a few degrees below zero - no issues whatsoever. I put my heater on top of a small food dish, so that the nipple is up high enough so the chickens don't have to lean down. I have the handle tied up above so the chickens can't knock it off the heater. When I'm ready to fill it I just unclip the handle and take it in and fill the bucket. Easy peasy.
