what do you fellow ND'ers do in winter for your birds? I am a newbie in Reynolds and i'm worried come winter about keeping the water warm. I dont want to change water out 50X a day either lol I am planning on getting a heat pan for under the waterer but from experience with the dogs water bowl i...

Ok great thank you. Ya they are 6 weeks, I trust Whelp :)

I just need some reassurance. My RIR will be 6 weeks next week and from what I read, its old enough to go outside. however at night the temps are still about 25-30 degrees. I'm in North Dakota.
