    Water heater

    We built two water heaters out of old cookie tins. Drill a hole in the side, run the wire through, attache the hardware and screw in the lightbulb. The tin itself rests in a wooden box and the waterer sits onto of the tin lid. It works great and we made two for each of our 7 gallon waterers.

    Yes that would be a house chicken casually walking around my living room. Just don't tell the neighbours, they think I am crazy enough already.
