I heard about heating rocks and putting them at the bottom of the bucket. there are also heated waterers. I just refill it twice a day

5 gallon bucket with nipples and a bird bath heater that has a thermostat built in, that's what I am using.

There are many, many threads about how to build water heaters.
It will largely depend on whether or not you have electricity mear the water, and the type of waterer you want to use
Here's just one:

Here is a link to instructions how to make a heated waterer........... Nice thing is that the thermocube turns on the power to the submersible aquarium heater and fountain pump when the air temp falls to 35 degrees.

It's been in the upper 20's in recent nights and seems to have been working really well at keeping the water warm.
