Protip: buy a 100W preset aquarium heater they are like $10-$15 and work great for this application.

I have the same system, but I use a fish tank heater that I bought on Amazon for less than 10 dollars and it works perfectly in the cold Utah winters.

55 gallon barrel with aquarium heater or bird bath heater . Connected to a rain catch and faucet hose . Also an air bubbler. With a aquarium pump to also circulate it around . Works in hot weather or cold.

It's great to learn new ways to do things. A time saver for sure.

I had to sub because you’ve got a great sense of humor!

looks pretty cool.... we are always trying to figure out a good way to heat water for chickens and rabbits

Pretty cool. When I get out of this place and get my chicks. I'm definitely going to have make one🙂 great video. It felt good to let go of all the goings on in ones life for just a few minutes. God bless you guys.

👏👍 5 is better than 3... Beautiful beautiful snow😄 Have a good evening ❄❄❄

You have the best idea so farm ...and I watched maybe 15 videos about this to save my chickens in winter in zone 5.

Good idea Mike! ☺

Good morning. I'm a first-time watcher to your channel. I like your personality and your can-do attitude. I've had chickens 2 years but this is the first year the water froze due to the Arctic blast which hit the southern part of the US. I think the cheapest and easiest way to heat the water is to put it in a bucket, sit the bucket on top of bricks and Lee heating pad under the bucket over the bricks. Connect to a solar generator. You may need to recharge the solar generator inside if not enough sun light. I bought my solar generator for just over $200 but that's my emergency generator when the power goes out. If you already have a solar generator then all you need is a $12 heating pad and big bucket.

Great concept. Thanks for the video content

👍 another great episode 🤗🙏

Great ideal I'm going to try this

I used a floating heater for my koi fish in a pond that would work pretty good.it just gave me an idea put the floater in a rain catchment barrel to feed into the 5 gallon water.

Lol my chickens peck the snow off my boots Thank God videos with other people having to deal with ⛄️ snow . I will be checking out your other videos 😀

This is a great idea.

Mine eat snow.... My grandparents always just used plain snow. They had no electricity. Simple... And they are very happy chickens 👍

Love the chickens cleaning off your boots!!!

Wow! We have lots of chickens and every winter every other day I'm having to water our chickens with the electric waterer's you flip over and I hate them. I'm so going to try this. Because for some reason the chickens seem to drink more in the winter. Thanks for the info

Totally gonna make one of these!

Oh thank the chicken gods, I hate those open bottom waterers. Thanks for this. :)

Thanks! I have a 3 gallon bucket for my chickens but I have it sitting outside of their run that way they can't gunk it up

Great 👍

i used an aquarium heater ($10) .. i also insulated my bucket.. hopefully that will help

I use a simple crock pot on low in the winter. I take a little to them in the morning and night. Simple and easy

Another option is use a bird bath heater on a large rubber water basen for livestock, drill a 3/8" hole 3 to 4 inches down from the top of a 5 gal bucket with a lid, flip it over in basen on top of heater. I used 2 gal bucket with a can of sand and light bulb under the regular 1 gal waterer.

Wrap the bucket in a plant mat I use the mats to ferment kembucha. But the fish heater does sound 🤔 Good..

You are genius!!!! :)

E time, everyone wants to be a rock star

Look at Mr. Go Go Gadget do his thing

That’s a lot of freakin snow 😂.. Supposedly We’re getting snow Friday but I doubt it will happen.

Bucket heater ? Where did you find? Great idea !! I would use the cups you find on Amazon. It’s good! 🎉🎉

Hi Mike ! - That snowstorm looks promising ! Does that mean a new Kubota snow video coming this week ? I hope so ! 😁 P.S. - what are those little slits on the bottom of that heater ? I'v never seen something like this. I thought those were air vents, and that the thing would sit under the bucket, so I guess they are not air vents, and that thing is water-tight.

Great video just bought everything I need to build my own now the hard part is will the chickens know what to do with the nipples?

Any way to save money works for me

1:01 He's coming in hot!

what extension cord do you recommend, I have to run a 100' extension cord to my coop for one of these.

The width of your outstretched arms is roughly equal to your height. So, the cord is probably between 5’6” and 5’10”, unless you are 5’ tall. Nice bucket!

Hurry and put a patent on this waterer!!! 👌

I looked up the "Perfect Bucket Heater" and they, too, don't say how hot it gets. It says it uses "only" 80 watts, which could mean the water, especially as it goes down to 2 or 3 gallons, could get really really hot coffee hot. Doesn't it?

How cold does it get where you're at? I'm up in Canada where it gets down to -60C with windshield, would something like this keep it from freezing in that cold of weather to?

Coming in hot!

Has anyone tried this with water cups in a bucket instead of nipples? I'm concerned about them freezing on the outside of the bucket, but would love to adapt what I already have instead of making something new. Zone 4a, we see weeks of below freezing temps

Do the nipplers freeze up in this system?

thats great except my chickens are of the stupid variety and cant seem to get the hang of the water nipples

All little kids like to eat snow....

Thenew chikens recognized you and get close for protection or safety ,mine hate been inside

Does anyone have the link for the bucket heater?

Hi mike

Did this end up working out well for you?

Click bait title. Video synopsis... heat your bucket with an electic heater. Really? Waste of 12 minutes.
