Yes, good idea...but we are homesteading and don't have electricity yet!...we'll do hydro/solar hybrid system eventually to create our own, it is just a ways down on the priority list!
I do miss my electric waterer warmer from 'back in the day' when I lived on the grid...but have found it is possible to live perfectly well, or at least reasonably well, without it!
Plenty of water running year round so I just need to figure out a gravity-flow design for piping that I can bring into and out of the coop to give a trickle all the time and which won't get dammed up with litter.
