Heated 5 Gallon Water Station

Pretty ingenious idea once again! You might just have to go into business! I too though would have liked another photo or two to show the underside of your waterer and the chickens drinking from it.

Did it end up working well for you through a winter?

Yes it worked great through a couple of winters. Now I have fewer hens so I use a heated water bowl in the winter.
This should work. I do something similar with nipples off the side and a cheap Amazon Orlushy 100w aquarium heater set at the lowest limit. Less than 15 bucks and works great even in Upstate NY winters. Would have given a higher review here with information as to cost and where to get the heating element.
Interesting and informative article, however more details would be helpful.
Great idea. Would love to know more about how it was assembled, and how chickens took to using it.
This is a neat idea. It would be better if you went into more detail about the nuts and your sealing technique.
