How to keep duck water unfrozen in extreme climates?

[talkhorsesducks]

In your climate, I would take it up a notch. Place the heated bucket inside a junk bucket. Drill a hole to run the cord through. You've created some trapped air that will help keep the water warm. You can also wrap the junk bucket with a non flammable insulation for better protection. Now take a piece of plastic. Cut it to cover the bucket. A lid for a 5 gal bucket might work. Cut a hole in the middle just big enough for them to get their head in. Screw the plastic cover to the bucket.
I did a similar design for horses where I had no power and 95% of the time it worked like a charm. Or move south.

Haha. I love this idea. I’ll have to see what I can buy. Thank you so much!
