I use the base heaters. You can put Arizona Ice Tea gallon jugs on them outside. The jugs don't melt. And water stays unfrozen below zero here in Maine.
Also, for egg eaters I can't use mustard and hot sauce because my egg eaters LIKE it. OMG. But they will peck to no avail CERAMIC eggs and then they won't eat their eggs. LOL They also usually won't lay in a nest box with a ceramic egg in there. I did have to mark the CE's with a sharpie because I tried to "collect" them. Chicken farmer didn't even know the difference. LOL VBG. So I just put a circle all around them. They did lay some eggs on the floor of the coop so watch where you step.
I got both White and Brown CE's because the leghorns were still eating. Now they don't
KEY: CE= Cermaric Egg. VBG = Very Big Grin
