I'm hoping the title gets a lot of looks and replies. I'm needing some suggestions on how to keep the watering nipples from freezing on chicken drinking system. I used to have the 1 gallon self watering container sitting on a metal cookie tin w/light bulb inside-worked but hassle to replenish everyday. This past summer, set up a 5 gal. bucket with sink basket in bottom, 90 deg angle and 1-3/4" schedule 80 PVC pipe about 18" long feeding 3 watering nipples. My question is how to keep the bucket setup from freezing. I've done numerous internet searches. Was swaying towards the heat tape wrap design. Anyone try this or any other ways with good results?
