I know somebody that lives in Alberta! I have thought about getting those nipples, let me know how you like them.
Those are awfully small vents, but it's hard to tell how large they are by just looking at these picture. Also, will rain and snow blow in them? Your eaves don't seem very big. My main vents are 1' by 3 ' covered by hardware cloth on opposite sides of the coop, under the 2 foot eave overhang. Another vent I have is 2' by 2' covered by hardward cloth in the back of the coop where there is no wind and also protected by the large eave and my house. So far the vents seem to be working although I was worried I didn't have enough.

What the best/most economical way to keep this double walled steel waterer unfrozen during the winter? The waterer is kept outside, holds 5 gallons of water, I live on southern IL, temps get into the single digits and I have electricity.
