Hello! Any chance you have a photo of what you did? My husband and I are trying to make a better watering system that we can add heat to and keep it from freezing. We are thinking of a pvc tube that we can fill with a hose without having to go into the coop. Thank youI have horizontal pvc pipe with vertical nipples. I inserted a heat cable (the submersible kind) inside my pipe. It keeps them from freezing down to about 28 degrees, but when we have colder temps, the nipples still freeze up, even though the water doesn't. I think the more chickens using the cups, the more they will keep it un-frozen.
Maybe you can find something useful here -- https://oemheaters.com/topic/heating-tape
