Title: Defective unit
Product review: It's above 40 degrees outside, so the heater base shouldn't even be on, but the hen's water was so hot it was steaming. It wasn't just the water in the lower lip that they drink from, but when I opened the water container, all of the water was approx the temp of a hot bath. I don't know if the hens have been drinking it, but it would be uncomfortably hot for a human. I will attempt to return the heater and hope that a replacement will not do this, but if you go for this unit, check the water often to make sure that it's shutting off when it's supposed to.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
