I live in CT so we need heat at night in winter for our hens! What we do (since we don't have a heated waterer) is we go to petco & get the 2 biggest heating lamps for lizards. 1 with a normal bulb & the other with a red one, you can buy both there. The normal one we put on a timer & that we use just for extra day light, so they lay longer, and that turns on at around 6am & goes till 7pm. The red one is for heat more & stays on always but we try to point that at the waterer in the coop.
