one thing I have lurked no matter how they winter comes I tend to not get
things done until stuff starts freezing so today I'm needing to make a heated
water for my chickens it's got a little bit of a hard water issue I other coop I
made one of these last year and at work fabulous I'm not the inventor of this
I've seen it many times I just wanted to show you how I do things and and it
works great I've been giving them snow they're okay with us and they reasonably
like pecking at it but it is so much harder than just drinking water how to
make it and install it into the goop so make sure you have the safety glasses
very very important so what you're going to do snap blog we want to make a line
with the chisel you don't want to start hitting it too hard
there you go half now we're going to clean up this side Mary chisel is thanks
for the water so we're going to now we're going to look on the top so to set
that over here now I'm going to grab patio stone so let's rely on top of the
block so what I'm going to do we don't want to waste that assumes you bet you
can make make one or two more of these so I'm going to try
so now we're going to make one more cut
so now this is the base for my water the violet ball go inside luckily have this
notch so that the court will pass were very nicely and everything will sit
relatively flat so we're going to go put this in the hoop and we're going to give
it a try so that's hope we're going to see how the chickens are doing and we're
going to assemble this whole thing um
so what you do is you grab your Smash black know where you're gonna put your
water make sure you don't have any pain I have a cement floor so I don't think
they could really go anywhere but we just don't want to have a little bit of
an unfortunate incident on the farm so now i'm going to get my extension cord
with the light okay okay what we're going to do is put the light bulb with
the extension cord in here just so the ball was a little off the ground is kind
of just hang in there we're gonna get the patio stone we're going to set it on
top which should hold everything in place and we're gonna plug it in let's
check all there that is awesome see in the old days I think they just gave snow
huh I tried it the mean they liked it but I think they're getting tired of the
snow and they so much easier if you just get water out of the water ah but in a
bind power outages long-term whatever snow snow keeps them going right there
and the heat from below we'll keep it thought out and that'll give you happy
chickens
