Hey Gang! I know, its 103 degrees, but I am such a worry wart.

I know that it will get down to minus 25 here, and although we are
building a chicken house, inside it will be frozen, and the water
frozen.

Do my ducks and geese need a swim pot in the winter or
can they go without for a few months? Can they be ok with
just drinking from a heated bucket of water like all the other
chickens.

What does one do for water anyhow in the winter for the chickens?
Everyones advice would be so appreciated.

We don't have a pond or anything like that. I can imagine bringing
them(my ducks and geese) into the house and letting them go
for a dip in the tub. If it wasn't so crazy, and I had help, maybe I
would. : ))))

Oh brrrrr, just thinking about the winter coming, and the frozen
ground and snow and ice....it will be hard for the chickens.

Thanks everyone!
