Title: stopping drinking water from freezing
Post by: Marianne on December 26, 2010, 16:16
we found a great way to stop water from freezing.
if you have power to your run hang an infra red light over the drinker .
these are used for heating chick incubators and are available from most agricultural suppliers .
a timer can be used if needed these can be bought from most supermarkets cheaply
remember to  keep  out of the rain
hope this helps
