Hi I have three chickens in a small coop in my back yard. Where I live it is currently below freezing. I have a heated pet bowl for water bit it just broke and I don't have a way to replace it unroll tomorrow. Will they be ok for today withought it? I'm very worried
Provide water a couple times a day, and they will be fine. I don't have heated waterers - in the really cold weather, I change out water bowls several times daily.
Your birds will still need water until then. I'm with Sourland, I don't have heated waterers. I carry a pitcher of warm water out a few times a day and thaw some for them to drink. Bantam pen I just used a small plastic dish with a rock in it so they don't tip it over. Big pen has a black plastic tub. Lots of options.
I have two cheap plastic waterers. I put one out with warm water for them and leave one in the house to stay thawed. I swap them out each day. It works well for me.
