Hen-Gen said:My outside tap seemed to be the only one not frozen last week. So endless visits from a crofting neighbour for water. And though sheep don’t seem to be bothered about water at this time of year about a dozen pigs and forty odd cows need a hell of a lot. Quad bike trailer full of 25litre drums uses a lot of water!
Even so my chicken drinkers remained unfrozen.
Years ago I saw someone’s arrangement where metal water troughs were positioned over a tea light candle which kept the water unfrozen. I’m sure it worked but the fire hazard aspect would witter me to death.
