Last year I had a heck of a time fighting frozen nipples on my PVC Pipe waterer. I tried just about everything I could think of but even though I was able to prevent the water in the pipe from freezing the nipples would freeze and crack and leak...
I'm thinking of abandoning the whole PVC pipe nipple waterer idea and go with something else instead.
Can you guys point me to some ideas for homemade waterers that will not freeze? I need to make three of them. I have 3 chicken yards and 56 birds in them. My only requirement is the waterers need to be outside all the time in the chicken yards and not inside the coops.
I'm in southern Illinois if that helps.
Thanks
