I think that tire idea would help you with them spilling the water also.

You've gotten lots of good info to help. I do think 1 teaspoon vinegar per gallon in the drinking water could help your rooster in particular.

For your sick hen. If you could please get her alone in a box on paper towels, then take photos of her and her droppings and post a new thread about her, hopefully we can get you some help.

Hey, no apologies necessary. Sometimes it takes a little bit to get things sorted out, and text does not always convey warm feelings.

For smiley faces, look in the toolbar when you are typing....there is a smiley face among the icons, click the smiley, and a drop down shows all the smiley faces.

Cool , thanks but its to big for there barn give them less room. I would have to leave it in there run will try it thank you

Maybe I should introduce myself. My screen name is getaclue. Maybe someday I'll know enough to change it to gotaclue, but the longer I raise chickens, the more I find there are new things to learn, so I don't know if I'll ever be gotaclue.

Here's the link to the chicken chick water heater.

Most coop fires are not caused by water dish heaters, however, a little common sense with them is good. Most coop fires are from coop heaters using high wattage bulbs.

Another inexpensive method to offset frozen water is:

Both links show good examples. The tire method is not 100%, but it does a fairly good job.
