I see what your saying but if you think about it I will be using it in accordance with their reg's, all I am doing is attaching it to a water containing device.

No, but is your's changing colors? My male is getting a dark grey head. The girls are still buff.

Do they look anything like this?

Hey, that is what they are working towards. I know those are buff ducks, but aren't they supposed to have some kind of markings while young? Our ducks were a solid buff color as babies.

Good morning... it was raining hard on my way to work this morning, saw lots of accidents.

I'm paying real close attention to this heated water base talk, I use the hose during the summer but have to haul it in the winter.

The joints in my hands are swollen and popping from the weather changes... this is gettin' really really old.

I used a heat tape on my 3 gallon waterer all winter last year. It is a pretty long one maybe 5 feet.

It worked pretty good exept when it stayed below freezing for days it did not keep the water from freezing then.

I sure will, No I think the rain will keep me from painting today, I needed to stain and paint some doors but with the temps and the high humidity, I am not going to risk ruining them.
I do have to do some leg work on some other jobs, My version of an inclemant weather plan LOL.

They do carry them in different temp scales, so you can buy some that heat better in colder temps. also if you are running them on a long extension cord that will drop the amperage that they operate best at. So your extension cords need to be the right kind to handle a long length, and things that generate heat are more subject amp drop.

We got a bunch of rain since about 3:00 am, just came back from checking on the chooks they were snug and cozy, so now I can go about my day.

I was going to make the one that goes on the end of the drill but since we now have that processing place so close it seems silly for me to do that.
