Same here! The cozy coop heaters in the temp coops got changed to "high".…and our heat is crankin’
Below freezing every night for the next 6 nights.
Debbie, they sell small thermostats that you plug into the electrical socket, then plug the heaters into the thermostat. One brand is thermo cube, but they make several types of them. The ones we got work well, and are accurate. That way they automatically kick on at the set temp, then off at the other set temp. They end up saving some electricity, and you don't have to keep running out to the coop. They make ones that you can plug more than one cozy coop, or sweeterheater at a time, in case you have limited outlets.Same here! The cozy coop heaters in the temp coops got changed to "high".
We've got one in the coop, but we're dummies not to pick up a couple more for the temp coops!Debbie, they sell small thermostats that you plug into the electrical socket, then plug the heaters into the thermostat.

I need to see about installing those thermostats in my coops for summer air flow.Footnote: Those thermostats even work on our coop fans in the summer. They kick off in the wee hours, if the temps drop to comfortable, then kick on when the temps climb in the day. Benefit from the savings, especially at today's costs of electric.
