Water in Winter

<< < (2/5) > >>

bryngyld:
Back in Montana I had a small light bulb over a waterer for the chicks.  The bulb has to be protected from splatter, but the chicks don\'t splatter much.  I used the blue bowl type heater that John pictured for the bigger birds.

Now, I\'ll take the mud.  I have boots.  ^_^  Maybe I\'ll make cobblestone paths like I have in frontierville.

Dang, John\'s GREEN bowl.  I think mine were blue.  That\'s gotta be it.  I\'m not getting old.  

John:

No.  Just keep it covered with water.  Sometimes I add snow to the water pans/dishes instead of carrying out water to fill them.

I wish they were BLUE...the green reminds me of my brother\'s tractor, lawn mower and UTV.  The kid never did have good taste.

Mike Gilbert:
Heated water bowls??? You\'re spoiling them.   How do you expect natural selection to place? ;)  :p
