Good point!

Dar, yeah, I only have 5 hens (was six last week

). The waterer is 2 gallons I think.

All this talk is making me dread bring that waterer in and out to change the water in the winter!!!

i had to lug a 5 gal waterer 2X a day after i melted my first one... it was not fun

^ UGH. For a while there I had mastered not spilling, but somehow I've lost that skill, so I can look forward to spilling water on myself out in the freezing cold. Wheeee!

If you have no way to run electric for heated waterers, the heavy rubber feed tubs are nice cause you can beat them upside down to get the ice out and add warm water.
