A crock of water
"I thought you guys had two chicken
tractors? How can you make one Ice and Easy serve both tractors?"
Jack, Houston TX
I have not figured out a way to do that, but an alternative to the Ice
and Easy might be a simple Crock
Pot.
I tried it last night in the other tractor and it worked fine.
It seems that if you keep the cover off and the setting on low the
water stays close to luke warm. Be sure to switch it off during the day
if it gets hotter than 40. Our hens even seemed to enjoy the warm water
in the morning, but that could be just my imagination.
