For our rabbits, we use a 5 gal drink cooler, $25 from walmart, with an aquarium heater that keeps it from freezing in the winter. I would image you could attach the nipples to the side of the cooler and since its insulated, would use less electricity than a heated mat. In our case, we have an aquarium pump push water from the cooler through a 20 foot loop of tubing sleeved with pool noodles and attach rabbit watering nipples along a 10 ft row of cages. In the past two Maine winters, the line has only frozen up once and only for a few hours in the early morning. The aquarium heater is 100W and we set the temperature to 65f.

I like this, thanks for sharing your method. I may have to look into a cooler. Water in the coop gets really hot during the summer

I like the nipple waterers you have for the chicken tractors. My tractors are too short for that style, but I can see where they would work well. We just use a 5 gallon waterer in the coop through the summer. We switch over to a heat plate and a smaller waterer in the winter. Last winter was pretty mild so we didn't have much of an icing issue. This winter I think is going to be a lot colder so I need to come up with a different system. Thanks for sharing Joe!

Nice summary! I’ve tried everything but the self filling bowls. My wife is daily operations while I’m just infrastructure - the nipples in the bucket are our go-to for winter. I wired up the coop with a dedicated 20amp circuit and drop a 5’ pipe heat cable in each 5 gallon bucket in winter. Works the best so far.

@samuelwiltzius I like this, I’m going to need to research the heater, thanks

Winter is and always will be a challenge. However, during the summer these chickens drink so much, always trying to figure out good methods. Of course if it rains they just use a puddle
