    Water Clean, Thaw, and Outside..?

    We have two of them outside the coop, and they work famously. We did have an issue with mice that chewed through one of the wires, but we haven't had any issues with low temps and having them not work. We live in Denver, and it gets COLD here.

    I'm new to posting! (Been reading for a long time.)

    Hi! My name is Sam. I have been reading and using BYC for a number of years, but I have just created my account today. I have had a small flock for about 5 years, since we first moved to Denver. Until this spring, we have had around 6, but we built a new coop and run this year, so now we...
