Poultry have access to water at the right temperature at all times

 Access to fresh, clean water is one of the most important aspects of feeding your chickens. During the cold weather months, it is important to ensure that the water you provide for your birds is available when they need it.

If you're like me, I hardly want to get up from my cosy, warm bed on a winter morning. So the idea of trudging through snow and ice to deal with a frozen watering system is not my idea of a good morning. With that in mind, I've put together some tips that can help you use chicken waterer heated base and keep the water thawed and flowing smoothly during the coldest months.

With just a little effort, you can use poultry dinker heater base so you can enjoy a few more cosy moments in bed while your chickens are happy and healthy outside. I live in a mild climate, with temperatures in the freezing range for only two weeks a year on average. In this relatively mild winter climate, simple, non-electric methods of using natural sunlight help to keep the water flowing.

For example, if you are able to modify the location of your coop, place it so that it receives maximum sunlight and minimal cold winds. By changing the location of the coop, you can place the waterer in the best area to take advantage of the sun's heat.

It is important to note that chickens do not need access to water at night when they are comfortable on their roosts in the coop. Simply bringing the waterer indoors overnight will eliminate the problem of overnight freezing. The waterer should be provided first thing in the morning and placed in the sunniest area to ensure it does not freeze during the day. Another non-electric method of watering systems in milder winter climates is to simply fill a dark black tub with water and place it in a sunny spot. The black bath absorbs the heat from the sun and prevents it from freezing.

Remember that running water does not freeze easily. A small submersible circulation pump is an inexpensive trick to keep the water flowing at freezing temperatures. A few ping pong balls or even a floating plastic water lily pad will create ripples on the water's surface and prevent it from freezing. However, if your climate is freezing for an extended period of time, you may want to consider the electric option.

If your coop has electricity, there are a number of commercially available options to prevent your chickens' water from freezing in winter. The chicken water heater with a stainless-steel heating base is designed to transfer heat more efficiently, are rust-free and can be used with plastic or metal waterers, making them very safe to use.

Whichever method you choose and whatever the season, providing your chickens with plenty of clean fresh water is the most important consideration in keeping your flock healthy and happy.
