Lady across the street is the town distro point for a local propane company. Went yesterday to pick up my 2nd 25 buck tank in 3 weeks to keep pipes from freezing (mission switched to thawing since a tank ran out and the dog opened a door)... She (and everybody in this part of town) has pretty much the same setup as us for barn water. Asked her how she was doing with her chickens and water..... Said she can't remember a frozen water line. Gave her that look and she took me in the little utility room part where the water line comes up and runs about 10ft to the chicken room. Little wall about 4 inches away from the cement wall extending a little above the pipe. One end at the bottom is a little door and a little vent gap at the top of the other end. She lights a graveyard candle and sets it inside the little door and keeps everything warm. Costs her about 2 bucks a month... Picked my chin up off the ground and will be building my little wall in the near future...... Been fighting this water line for 10 years.....
