    I use poultry nipples in my coop with a PVC pipe cut in half under the nipples to catch any drips and my bedding stays dry. The chickens even drink the drops out of the half pipe when it is not frozen. I used a fountain pump and heater setup similar to the one you just setup for your rabbits.

    I have had two that were limping and two that mysteriously passed overnight in the past two weeks. The remaining ~80 in the flock are acting normal today.

    You do not need the black tubing if you go with the PVC screw in nipple. The black piping system is best for locations that do not get freezing weather. I attached an image of the PVC fitting (PVC Pipe Reducer for 1/2 in pvc w/ 1/8 in fpt) you need to attach the screw in nipple. I have been...

    I use it in the summer. I don't use ACV because it will build up inside the pipes and pump and could cause failure. I put ice in the water in the cooler during summer to help keep the rabbits cool.

    Pictures of tank are in post #2525. I use a cooler because I wanted to try and saw a few bucks on electricity by not heating the outside air along with the water and also use a smaller heater since the heat loss is less. I use one of the large 150 quart coolers so I have about 25 gallons of...

    Yes like a waterfall but with the nipples in the line. 2 GPM or 120-150GPH pump should move enough water so that it is still warming the end of the pipe run. My original idea was used for chicken nipples in my coop. The idea came from my outdoor wood boiler which sits away from the house but...

    They did not freeze last winter even when it was -30 degrees Fahrenheit over night. As long as the pump and heater are working, and there is enough water in the source tank for the pump to move, the water in the pipes and nipples wont freeze. The water needs to be heated mostly to keep the...

    It would probably be around $165. The big difference between the auto system and individual bottles is the amount of water. My autowater system has lasted a week before needing to be refilled. I normally don't wait that long since they run out of free feed food but it does come in handy in the...

    I use an Edstrom automatic water system that circulates warmed water with a fountain pump. I use two small submersible aquarium heaters (two in case one stops working) in a cooler as the source tank. I have a similar system with chicken nipples for my coop. The system did not freeze last...
