Yeah I just read that on mine too. Maybe I’ll trade it in for a heated dog bowl or a heated nipple waterer for inside. I don’t think that allows as much water condensation.

Horizontal nipple waterers are great, but takes time to 'train' the birds.
Best not to switch during extreme temps.

Where in this world are you located @Chickslady ?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.

It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

Thanks, I was worried about that too. I’m from New Hampshire. Also kinda new to this group and didn’t finish my profile. Thanks for the reminder.

Hi! I'm in NH too. What did you end up getting for the water?

I use a heated base in my coops. I’ve only been through one winter and that was with guineas not chickens. We had temps as low as -40 windchill made it even colder. We didn’t have any frostbite last year. I can’t imagine not having water in my coops. When the dead of winter sets in the birds rarely left the coop.
