only when the dogs or the cats unplug the heat trace and fan for the line.
not one of the four is owning up to it though. trust me, I asked em all!

I think I might be inclined to turn off the water to the barn, or wrap the pipe in electric heat tape inside the conduit.

Anyone with Turkeys do this snood removal stuff?

Quote:

Turkeys have a frontal process called a snood, which

is an ornamental appendage for the adult male. The
snood can be grasped by other turkeys during fighting
and can be torn or damaged. Breaks in the snood skin
can be a health concern (e.g., erysipelas) among older
turkeys (mature or breeders) or those housed on pas-
ture or on ranges. Data collected from industry showed
that snood removal in tom poults reduced the odds of
mortality (Carver et al., 2002). To avoid injury and
possible infection, the snood can be removed from the
newly hatched male poult by clipping or pinching the
snood from its base on the head. If removed, the pro-
cess should occur as soon as possible after hatching
(most likely at the hatchery) and no later than 3 wk
of age (Berg and Halverson, 1985; Clayton et al., 1985;
Parkhurst and Mountney, 1988). Snood removal after
3 wk of age is possible by clipping (Scanes et al., 2004)
but not recommended without veterinary advice (Clay-
ton et al., 1985) as the snood will continue to increase in
size and vascularization especially in the males (toms) http://www.poultryscience.org/docs/ag-guide/Chapter09.pdf


Or this in colder climates?

Removal of part of the comb (dubbing) and wattles

of chickens may be needed if birds are kept in cages.
Combs and wattles can get caught in wire openings or
feeders after significant comb and wattle growth has oc-
curred (Card and Nesheim, 1972; Fairfull et al., 1985).
Comb and wattle removal is more commonly performed
on cockerels because these structures are larger in males.
Dubbing or removal of part of the wattles should only
be used as a last resort when equipment or housing con-
ditions cannot be modified to prevent torn or damaged
combs or wattles.
To perform successful comb and wattle removal with
minimal bleeding and excellent long-term results, surgi-
cal scissors, scalpel blade, or electrocautery/radiosur-
gery electrode (Bennett, 1993; 1994) should be used to
remove part of the comb and wattle during the first few
days after hatching. To reduce risk of infection between
birds, the scissor blades can be disinfected. http://www.poultryscience.org/docs/ag-guide/Chapter09.pdf
