“Crockpot” Chicken Waterer
Janet Forys of Nashville, Ill., turns old crockpots into low-cost heated waterers for her chickens during the winter.
She plugs the crockpot into an outlet that’s wired in series to a dimmer switch that controls the current to the 110-volt wall outlet. It lets her lower the crockpot temperature to just a few degrees above freezing.
She says the heated waterer works good and costs very little to operate. Total cost for all parts was less than $15.
