Freezing Water Cups

[Mmanist]

I use a 2 gallon heated bucket for my silkies. BUT I do not have it in my coop or near it! It's in the corner of their run, I really didn't want to go the heated bucket route, nor did I want to be kicking frozen blocks of ice out my buckets, in 10 degree mornings... so heated buckets it is!
Mine is similar to the one below!

Use a waterer with horizontal nipples and a stock tank deicer. Below is a link to my build article.
