All of my heated waterers have worked great so far this year. The plastic ones with the heater built in, and the ducks have the metal one with base. We've got another cold front moving in. Im so tired of cold already.I haven't. They will mostly be used in the brooder box in the house and in the grow-out box in the coop. Luckily, I think that most of our really hard freezes will be behind us by the time the chicks move out there. Big chickens have a metal waterer on a heated base, which has worked great for 2 winters now. No, not even a peep!
Good company
