Just Wondering....for a winter waterer has anyone tried.....

I know this thread is old, but you have some good points. The only question I wonder about is that ducks need water when they eat their feed - so do you only feed twice a day as well in the winter?

Yes they really do, but I have not had a problem with them eating. I assume that they may not eat much when there is not any liquid water around. But no I don't take the feed away. There is usually a half a pan of it in the water pan ice cube though when I give them new water!

My poor birds would choke to death if they didn’t have water when eating

I use a 20 quart heated bucket that I got at Tractor Supply. It cost about $36.00. I've used it for 4 years now, works great. I will be purchasing another one since my flock has increased.

Silly question but can you post a link of what you’re talking about? I’m so curious!

Yep the blue one is the ones I use. I even place a piece of wood over half so they can't climb inside and use as their personal hot tub.
