    My mom works at TSC and said they have small galvanized wash tubs that i could fit a small de-icer in. I'm going to look at them next time i'm at the store. I'm also going to see if Petco has any of the dog bowls on clearance since winter is almost over-i'd like one for the dog in the barn...

    Like the heated dog bowls? I've got 10 ducklings coming, 6 are Mallards, 2 are Cayuga, and 2 are Blue Swedish. I'll be filling their bowls mornings and will check them again at least once in the afternoons. Night they'll have no food or water to keep the coop clean.
