Granny's gone and done it again

Ok, so my idea is to try to make it easy to drain the hose... be able to drain it without having to pull it or roll it up. If you could hang it over a rafter or over something high up, tie it up there with a long enough piece hanging over into the coop to get to the waterers. Then when you are done and turn the faucet off, all you would need to do (ideally) is unscrew the hose from the faucet and let the water drain out onto the ground. Reattach it after it drains, before it freezes. Any chance that would work? I don't know your set up. Maybe attach the hose along a fence or something to keep a level downward slope.

I dont know Wishing. That was my thought last yr too. Right now I hold it over my head and walk it out. I normally do it twice to make sure it all came out because I cant tote that much water from the house

bottom to drain fill your waterers and then you fill from the top which is also where you would insert the tank heater.

That's why I would attach it up higher if possible. It will rush out, then you will only need to worry about low places. As long as the end is lower than the rest, it should drain pretty well.

So it is simple, after you fill your waterers, unhook the hose from the faucet and it should drain out. I did that most of the time in TN unless it was really cold and i wanted to give them hot water.
It is a wonder you don't have an electric wheel chair with snow chains on the wheels you could use.

and too bad I couldnt just twitch my nose like samatha the witch did. It is very frustrating the simple things I used to take for granted are now impossible to do.
