Yes, but that does not mean go snuggle under the covers more. Do some jumping jacks! Or run in place!

Nope, no

G' Morning! Hoping to hit 30° by noon. I have to stop looking at the teal feel temp and just look if the sun is peeping out. The sun makes all the difference.

OMG we just hit 50 degrees! Get out your swim trunks! I have a kiddie pool in the back yard.

You can plug aquarium heaters into thermal cubes so they only come on as needed.

True

Thing literally shattered the minute the glass hit the water.

? Bad product? I assume it was "ambient temp" when you put it in.

I just kept thinking what would happen if one of my flighty Fayoumi girls went charging through the water bowl like I've seen them do and ran into the glass heater cover breaking it.

I was thinking more of using an aquarium in a nipple bucket waterer, not in an open bowl.

The others are huddled on the roosts. Dumb chickens!

Chickens prefer to roost high!! Every one of my girls spend the night 4' off the ground in the coop. Even at temps far below anything you'll ever see in Florida and 50°F below your +29°F.

I always think that the problem with an aquarium heater is it
1. Heats the water, usually you only need the water at 35 or 40F. So, that is extra electricity waste, thermo cube or not.
2. They bust when run dry.
3. They are not sturdy. So you wouldn't want to put one in an open water bucket where birds could peck it.


That is why I like the de-icers.

Ya know science says you have to warm things before bending them that includes the body
