All my poultry raisin' buddies... (and anyone else too) I want your opinion. I know it's summer, and hot but I'm already thinking about this winter and how much I hate having to go out in the cold and feed/water, break the ice in the waterers etc. I'm slowly buying large volume feeders for each pen so that I can feed when it's not 20 degrees etc. however, waterers are just too expensive to get large volume waterers for each pen. My first thought was fish tank heaters. That would keep the water from freezing. However, then I began considering putting heat lamps over each waterer. Then I thought about whether or not just putting a heat lamp warming the whole pen would work at all? That would warm the water and the birds, but would it warm enough to prevent freezing of the water?
