TWIT and I would like to welcome winter weather to the Ohio Valley. The temperatures are forecasted to be at around 30 every night for the rest of the week. So tonight after supper, the Old Man and I will be going out to winterize the chicken coop; meaning, we’ll stretch the extension cord from the barn to the coop and plug in the Girls’ heated waterer.
This year, we are trying a new winter water system – a double-walled waterer and a heated base. The actual waterer is two pieces – the outer part that simply twists off, and the inner part that will hold the water. And it sits on the heated base. So there will be no more fussing and cussing like in years past when I had to flip their heated waterer upside down to fill it, which usually ended up getting more water on my feet and legs than in the waterer.
Stay tuned.
