I have a hanging 5 gallon bucket with horizontal nipples inside my 4' x 8' coop. I want to put a heater inside the bucket to keep it from freezing on really cold nights. I'm also hoping the heated water will act as a radiator to slightly warm the coop for my 4 hens, but I don't want to over heat...
I'm looking to start a small 3 to 4 hen flock for eggs and wanted to get as much info as possible before diving in. This looks like the place to do it.
