Check water bottles at least once a day!!!!

I have 2 bottles, inside a shed, with those 'Classic' covers over them which is supposed to stop the water freezing.....but the past 3 days the bottles have froze every morning!
I didnt think they would with those covers on so please just a reminder to always check them!
 
We have the wrap round cover (newton and scratch or whatever it is P@H do) and you can get a thick sock on the bottle underneath it. That appears to be ok (but the bowl freezes which they prefer) We change 3 times a day, first thing, teatime and last thing at night.
 
Mine have those covers, and are covered in the silver insulation material and don't tend to freeze. Strawbs will only use a bowl though and I can't get that to stop freezing.
 
I bought a bottle with the insulation cover this year but will they use it?!:evil: They just like their bowl. I change it on a regular basis - but it hasn't been bad this winter. The last 3 winters I was changing it loads.
