We'll have a better idea in a few weeks as to whether the prototype is a sufficiently good solution to proceed with manufacturing. We have a high hurdle for new product development -- it must be significantly better than other available solutions or we won't offer it to our customers. If we decide to move ahead with this, it will be announced in our newsletter and the product will be sold on our website ChickenWaterer.com. If not, we'll go back to the drawing board. Our current recommendation to customers is to place the BriteTap into their coop and run a heat source such as a heater, heat lamp etc inside the coop to keep the temp above freezing.

We found using a heat lamp clamped above the waterer is a nice solution. The chickens also gather closer to the light source for heat. So we are satisfying two great needs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
