Watering in hot heat !!

Awesome I wouldn't have even thought of this! Mind if I copy it I like the flexible tubing better!

Here is mine in our temporary coop.

I bought the nipples from Rich 386 and built it myself. Not hard at all.

Not at all. Go right ahead and feel free to ask any questions as you go.

We only get a few weeks of "very hot" weather here. When we do I ad ice blocks to my waterer. I use plastic containers from sour cream, ice cream or yogurt and freeze them in my large freezer. When I had 2 waterers I would have one half filled in the freezer and the other in the run. I would just fill the frozen one with water before putting it in. The hotter the day, the more times I changed the water and more ice blocks I added. I find blocks melt slower, keeping the water cooler, longer, than ice cubes.

Thanks I hadn't thought of blocks of ice !! I've been filling mine with ice cubes but they melt soooo fast !! I'll try it today!

Or grab a big bag of ice. It will keep it cool for 25-48hours
