Not much you can do about it in Missouri. I've even seen waters freeze with heaters under them some nights. I just use heavy plastic pan, tap around the edge with a hammer, and the ice pops out.

poultryshowcentral.comHello I'm from Rolla/St. James! Is there another Missouri form? Also wondering how to find bird shows in this area. Any help would be appreciated Thanks all!
Lots of good advice in this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...ks-for-coping-the-elements-with-your-chickensHey guys since we all have close to the same climate how can I keep my chickens water from freezing without spending $50
Well it's $25.99 but it works perfectly for me. I have a kitty litter bucket (like a 5 gallon with lid) with horizontal nipples... My friend uses outside heat tape round her bucket and her horizontal nipples still froze up, mine with the heater inside works perfectly. Best $25 I could spend and don't have to worry about them.Hey guys since we all have close to the same climate how can I keep my chickens water from freezing without spending $50
I use the K&h ultimate bucket heater with a food grade bucket and horizontal nipples. Alternatively, if you are home every ten hours or so a microwavable pet bed pad under a small waterer works during the day. I just bring it in at night when they don't need it anyway.Hey guys since we all have close to the same climate how can I keep my chickens water from freezing without spending $50
