    Made my own water heater

    Hello everyone, So I just built my first coop and it is my first year with chickens. I realized I needed some kind of water drinker that would not freeze. I decided to put something together to prevent water from freezing and that would not cost much. Full disclosure... I am not an...

    Anyone use this?

    has anyone used a heat source like this one, or have any comments or advice about it? I wanted something more fire proof for my 2 duck coop.

    Small Scale Propane Brooder Heaters *advice please*

    Happy Monday everyone! I'm looking into growing my meat bird production and I am currently researching propane brooder heaters. I do not have electricity to my barn but obviously, need the heat. The only propane heaters that I can find, seem to heat much larger areas (more birds >1500). I need...

    Sneezing Chicken, Runny/Yellow Gunky Nose?

    My biggest and seemingly healthiest Buff Orpington/Ameraucana mix, Biscuit Bird, has a problem. I brought her into the house yesterday for a daily visit with my parents, but my mom noticed that she was sneezing, and that her nose was runny. I had a look, and her nose did have some clear liquid...

    If you are using a plastic tub for chicks and need a heater use a germination mat for seedlings with a light above as well but put the heat mat underneath the plastic tub with newspaper in between so as not to get too hot for the youngsters. If it gets really cold put an electric heater in the...

    Best Heat Lamp for a small coop

    We have a small coop with only four egg laying hens that get along well; but they are getting very cold because we are in Michigan and Michigan winters are brutal. What would be the best way to heat their coop so I don't wake up to my girls burnt to the ground or frozen like an icicle?

    Good Water Heaters?

    I need to get a water heater very quickly, and it's just for water. Every night and day it is below freezing now, and other Wisconsinites will understand. So I'd preferably want one with a slimmer cord so I can stick it through the ventilation slot so it wouldn't make more areas for wind to pass...
