Just trying to plan ahead. How do most people keep fresh water available in New England states or colder regions during winter months.

Mine love to nosh on the snow banks......so even with a warm almost dripless waterer inside...they still get frostbit wattles... SMH.roosters with long wattles will get in trouble in that big dish of cold water.

That's good to know. I always wondered why some of mine got frostbite on the combs and wattles but others didn't. All are housed within the same shed, drinking out of the same watterers. Size of the wattles seems to matter more, though not always.Mine love to nosh on the snow banks......so even with a warm almost dripless waterer inside...they still get frostbit wattles... SMH.

I've tried to get a pic of it...little vertical slashes at chicken head height all down the snow bank piled up from shoveling out a wide path down the run.That's good to know.
