That looks like the kind I have and I love it! Big enough to keep everyone hydrated but not to big to make filling a chore.

For the ducks and goose but the chickens use it too.

I love these! I have 2 5 gallon ones they never freeze!

Hmmmm. I just picked up cookie tins and light bulb stuff to make cookie tin water heaters. I bet those are more cost effective. Waterproof heating elements?

I still need to get mine... Guess I will go to TSC since I know they have them..

I did have one of those last year.. It was a PITA!
I swear I exchanged for a different bucket about 4 times till I said I just want a refund back. Mine never did work.

I guess it was just a bad shipment..? Oh well. I guess I'll just brave the cold again this winter as I have had the winters before.

I bought a 2 gallon one on line last year and just found out last night it isn't working any more, thats why I bought 2 new ones today. Now with the 5 gal and these 2 I should be set for winter.

I haven't had an issue with mine and have had them for 3 years. I only use them in the winter they then get stored in the house so the elements don't get to them. But I have had a few friends have the same problem with them, they ended up buying different brands. Not sure why they work for some and not others

Except that my friends used there's outside and mine have always been inside there coop.
