Abstract: A ground supported poultry fountain includes a basin with an annular drinking trough, a bell shaped reservoir detachable mounted atop the basin and a heating element affixed to the bottom of the basin. The heating element covers the bottom surface of the basin under the reservoir and along the inner wall of the drinking trough. The heating element prevents the water in the reservoir, as well as the water in the trough from freezing when ambient temperatures drop below freezing.

Abstract: The animal feeder combines a heated water basin with an automatic water level control valve and a separate feed basin in an elevated feeder housing. The diner includes a plastic housing, which has a flat top and a peripheral side wall. The diner housing is supported by four corner feet, which raises the top above the ground level. The housing top has two large depressions, which from a feed basin and a water basin. The diner can be connected to a water supply by a standard garden hose. A float valve mounted to the housing maintains the water level inside the basin. An electrical heating element mounted under the water basin prevents water from freezing when ambient temperatures drop below freezing.

Abstract: This water feeder includes a heating element interposed between the fluid reservoir and a heater base. The fluid reservoir is press fit onto a heater base, which includes a bottom tray and an upright back. The heating element includes a length of electrical resistance heating wire affixed to a sheet of pliable thermal conductive foil. The heating element covers both the inside of the base tray to contact the bottom of the fluid reservoir and the inside face of the base back to contact the back wall of the fluid reservoir.
