Yes, it only comes on when it's cold enough (I'm sure it's not a high tech thermostat inside, but it's been working for me.)

I have a 3 or 5 gallon metal waterer on it.

Getting double quotes today for some reason.
One of the reviewers I read said his failed b/c the thermostat wire burned thru.

That's ok! He's actually my favorite cockerel! He's the only one mating the girls, he's friendly with me, he breaks up any confrontations that happen in the flock and he's always on the lookout for predators. I just wish he was the "right" color for where I'm headed. That's also why I would love for you to have him! I want this one to have a good home. I have 3 others boys besides him. One thinks he's a girl and acts like a girl. The other is possessed with hormones and the extra handsome one attacks me! I would love to find a way!
Do you know if I can be the tester?

Tester has to be a licensed vet... and good luck... it is hard to get them to do it unless you have a vet willing and happy to do poultry...

My grandfather is a hardcore pigeon breeder for races around the country and I asked him about it and I said that Ohio might be an option and this is exactly what he said to me! Lol. He has a lot of customers in Ohio and no one there is happy! He didn't know about WV, though.

My breeder friend I got my Calls and Ohiki from is in Ohio... we met in KY, lol...

You're better off adding cold water. Sounds bassackward, until you consider that warm water is going to freeze faster due to evaporation.

Ecxept hot water freezes faster due to the molecules moving faster...

DH and I basically quit our jobs, sold our houses and moved to NM a year ago so we could take a break. We've worked hard for it, and next year we'll have to start back working more for a few more years until we can tap into our retirement funds. We're calling it our gap year.

So we're enjoying it while we can

Plus, we love the Keys and it's a great place to rent a house right on the water with the kids and grandkids.

I bought one of these, but haven't tried it yet. My hubby thinks the cookie tin thing isn't safe. I would think depending on your setup, it could work, just be extra careful with the wires and stuff.

For the price, I'd rather go the dog bowl route...

And now I understand how you can always manage to scare the p*ss outta SC!!

You are my hero...

Doesn't surprise me. I was wondering if it was going to work after being stored on a shelf all summer - but it's working fine.

Maybe they've made some mods 'cause they were getting a lot of complaints.

Now that's funny!

SC's only fear is getting the silent treatment.

No hero. We just always spent way less than we made, paid all charges off every month, paid extra toward mortgages and car loans every month until they were paid off and stayed basically debt-free.

It's kinda falling into place here - I picked up a part-time job from home with a company that used to work for my old hospital, we rented out the apartment that's over part of our house and DH has picked up landscaping jobs here and there. I've already been offered as much work as I want to do and we can buy decent health insurance through the marketplace. Way less stress.

Best move we ever made
