Water freeze

[chicken gal]

I live in alaska and my water keeps freezing but I have a heat lamp on it. Anything?

I live in Alabama and don't know if I can even fathom your temps, but I made a water heater that works great! I will see if I can find a link.

An aquarium water heater perhaps?

 

[chicken gal]

I'll try both of yours. Thanks a lot!

No worries- I have to say water freezing is a problem I never have here! lol
(Though it did get to -4 C one morning a few years ago- a bit of ice on the stock trough)

Your lucky! Where do you live?

 

[Ashburnham]

The " cold and wet" part of Australia - down in the south east.
Lowest temperature I have ever recorded was -4 C , and the highest ever was + 47 C - on Black Saturday.
(Sorry but i dont remember Fahreheit temps)

Wow, Austraila. How many chickens do have? What are there names? Also what are the breeds?

 

[Ashburnham]

About 60 at the moment. I have Aruacana, Barred Plymouth Rock, Bantam White Leghorns, and some layers that are mainly Isa Brown crosses.
I never give my chooks names!
