so far, so good. it took the birds 4-5 days to fully get the hang of the nipples but now they’ve all got it down and i’ve had no issues with water freezing. it’s running off of an extension cord right now but i’m having electricity run to the coop next month for the deicer and an electric fence

i ended up going with a plastic safe stock tank deicer which sits on the bottom of the bucket. i drilled the holes for the nipples about 3/4” above the top of the deicer so they can never drink the bucket dry.

this one actually floats and is described as plastic safe. id clip it with just enough cord to keep it from hitting the bottom though...

@DobieLover i found this one on amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09J7WT7QC/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1DWF2FYAPMTIY&psc=1

sounds perfect. do you have a link for it?

i’m gonna make my chickens a heated waterer using a 5gal bucket and horizontal nipples. what’s better? a tank de-icer or an aquarium heater? also, this will be powered by extension cords. i was thinking of using a thermocube, but i don’t know if they’re weatherproof. anyone have input on that?
