As a first year chicken owner I am getting nervous about winter. I just ran power to my coop and hope to get a heater for my 5 gallon bucket with horizontal nipple set up to prevent their water from freezing here in New England...
I am trying to find out how much blackjack 57 I will need for a 8x8 coop floor and going up the walls about a foot. Do I go with the 5 gallon bucket or would 1 gallon be enough? Thanks for your help!
