Tell me more, did you set it on a heated unit like described above?

We also use the large sized, heated dog dish. It has a built in thermostat to come on/off as needed. Set a one gallon bucket in it. Easy as pie. Works well. We're in coldest portion of the Mitten.

No, the unit itself has the heater. you just plug it in and we refill the water every 2 or 3 days. Hope that helps!!

How do you do it without electricity. I want to put our coop/run a long ways from electricity.

I use a 100 foot outdoor contractor extension cord.
