Hello Dear Friend, First Happy holiday for all of you and Merry Christmas.
In this Thread I would like to remind myself first and all of you of the Actions we take in cold weather.
I know that all of us love our chickens and we will try our best to protect them from the cold weather, so I decided to list what I know and I would like to hear from all of you about things we should watch when we winterize the coop.
1- Pay attention to all heat Lamps, Make sure they are installed in a safe area and make sure you got GTF in your outlets.
2- make sure that you don't have straw or hay next to electric outlets.
3- make sure that all cords are clean of cuts and they are designed to carry the load
4- use only extantion cord which are build for outside use only.
5- make sure that the cords are away from waterer ( water can cause a short)
6- Make sure that you have a braker for your coop.
That all what I can think of, please give me your input if you know more things can be added to this threat.
Thank you and God bless you all.
