    Heat and light for a New Hampshire winter

    I am a new chicken keeper building my first coop for 6 hens. I'm planning a 60 Watt fluorescent light bulb on a timer or light...but what about warmth? Do I need a heat lamp or a heat map for the water feeder? All advice appreciated!

    Recommendations for a 6 hen tractor design for chilly New Hampshire?

    Thank you all for your kind suggestions. I bought an old but servicable 10' by 8' wood shed from my neighbor and will pu that on a paved foundation, extending it with a wood framed chicken wire run. I'll post a photo when it gets done! Thanks again! Eddy

    Recommendations for a 6 hen tractor design for chilly New Hampshire?

    I am a newbie looking for a cheap to build coop design for my 6 Black Australorps that can be secured against New Hampshire critters (fox, bobcat, fisher cat, racoon) and can be heated for our freezing New England winters. I am thinking of a 'tractor' to move my ladies around the yard. Maybe...
