Work smart!I just found out that the second heater that I have going in the bachelor coop is working so well that it's evaporating the water out of it. I've put my fingers in the water and it's warm but not hot. Bet those roosters really appreciate a warm drink of water on mornings like this.
I may have to think about doing that with my stock tank. I wouldn't do it in January but February when things are starting to thaw may be doable to put a stock tank heater in it to keep it thawed and let the run off from the barn roof save me some steps.
