    Heating the coop

    I run a rooster rescue Up in mid/northern Michigan and I have boys that need heat this winter. Anyone out here with thoughts? We are 100% off grid. Has anyone used a Propane camper heater? How did you House it so it vents outside? Thank you for weighing in. This is whitey one of my bantams😊
