A testament to the mighty heated dog bowl's effectiveness

[K0k0shka]

My trusty heated dog bowl (Farm Innovators) has proven itself time and again, but it really came through after this latest monster snowstorm! So I just wanted to share some picture evidence and my highest recommendations for this genius invention. It's the only kind of heated waterer I use in winter. I have a large bowl in the run, and a small backup bowl for when I need to isolate a chicken for some reason (injury, bullying, etc.) They've both been through a lot of snow and some serious dips in temperature (single digits and negatives F) and have never ever frozen!

Yesterday we had a huge snowstorm that dumped 2 feet of snow, and the temperature hasn't risen much past 20 in a week, with steep drops at night. This morning I dug the big bowl out from under 2 feet of snow, and it still had liquid water inside!!! I am seriously impressed. I love that thing!

Farm Innovators. I'll put that in the original post, actually, if others are interested as well, so it's easier to find.

Those heated dog bowls work really well. I know people who use them and they have nothing but good to say about them. I keep one as a back up just in case my watering system fails. I'd consider using one all the time if it just held more water. A gallon and a half of water is just not enough for my situation.
