Heated bucket chicken waterer

bird cage handle on a 2 gallon plastic bucket lid

We're making a limited run of heated chicken waterers that utilize a nifty, heavy duty heated bucket from a company called Farm Innovations.

I could've chose any number of cheap handles for the lid, but decided to go with a fancy, high end bird cage handle that tops the project off with a bit of class.

You can save a little money by making one yourself. We made a video on how to make a heated chicken waterer that gives all the details if you've got the time, tools, skills, and patience.
