Cinder Block Chicken Waterer Heater

Build a cinder block chicken waterer heater!

Now here’s a must-have for those raising chickens in areas with extreme cold weather – a chicken waterer heater!

Heated Chicken Waterer - Hanging Bucket

Chooks are very well capable of keeping themselves warm during winter. But keeping their drinking water from freezing is something that they cannot do. So if it tends to get very cold in your place, providing your chicken coop with a heated chicken waterer is one important measure you shouldn’t forget.

There are commercial heated bases available for chicken waterer units. But you can also simply build one yourself using materials you probably already have!

This DIY project is one example; using cinder block and a matching concrete stepping stone.

Being a cinder block, it is great for providing just enough heat to keep the water warm. It keeps the chicken waterer above the ground, so it also keeps water free of chicken poop and other dirt.
