Very good article about using ground heat to keep water from freezing in a water bucket for the flock.

An update after next winter to let us know how it worked would be nice

Reactions: PioneerChicks

R2elk

I have been using this method for over 20 years. At temperatures down to 0°F, there is no ice that forms in the bucket. At temperatures down to -20°F, an ice layer up to 3/8" can form overnight. I remove the ice layer the first thing in the morning and the water stays open for the remainder of the day. At temperatures down to -30°F, the ice layer can get as thick as 3/4" to 1" thick overnight. Again, removing the ice layer in the morning allows the water to stay open for the rest of the day.

I have seen posts about vitamins that can be given to help correct angel wing in young birds. Adding information about them would help.
