I need recommendations from everyone. I live in a very cold climate and wanted to provide some additional heat to the chickens when it gets very cold at night, subzero temps. I don't want to add anything that will start a fire, like bulbs or heaters with fans. I was looking around and found a 40watt heating pad: K&H Thermo-Chicken™ Heated Pad and wonder if this is worth any good. Reading the reviews it does not get hot enough to start a fire but may possible just increase the temp a few degrees which is what I'm looking for.
My chickens currently live in a double walled old milking shed so they are protected from the wind. I wanted to mount this where they sleep at night, which is an enclosed roost within the shed. I just wanted to increase the temp a few degrees or just cut the freeze a bit. I'm not looking to completely heat the coop which would he horribly hard to do.
Any thoughts?
