TT!: they give off a lot of heat, the one hanging is a Dietz #80. And puts out 1400 BTUs. 3 will give off 4,200 BTU. That is enough to take the frost off the pumpkin. In fact, to think of it in a walk in coop, with some ventilation, a lamp would easily burn all night, take a chill off the air. Only an option ware you have no electricity. That can be taken care of by a deep cell battery, solar panel, and a regulator, so you do not over charge your battery. Most boats have a battery of battery's (2 or more) or a couple of a camper battery's, a min of 80 watt (would have to look up amps) solar panel. That would keep water from freezing. Flagstaff, Arizona cold country, would work grate. A low tech solution to a problem we do not have. It would coast me $1,200.00 to have electricity put in my shed, it is against code to run an extension cord to power lights in the shed. (If the city code inspectors find out). But, if it powers a trouble light it is ok. Go figure.

Totally off topic. Can anyone tell me how to find/select a reputable place to
process chickens in Phoenix so I can do some cost comparisons. Now that I have my
"pet" chickens and am waiting for eggs, I am considering getting meat chickens
for my next go around. No one explained chicken math b4 I got our chicks! So
far my husband is not interested in raising/processing meat chickens. He wasn't
keen on getting "pet" chickens either but has grown fond of them We shall see
if I am brave enough or if the processor route will win. Thanks in advance :>

Will someone send the hot mexican inspector my way? We moved, and I miss getting to stare at the hot UPS guy. The new one isn't as adorable

Maybe I just need to hire a pool boy... although, it would be hard to explain to my husband, with no pool...

i don't know that this was the same one that visited Mahonri. he had BLUE eyes and dark hair and swooped in like superman. ok, he did not have a cape and tights, BUT a girl can dream. i have a thing for superman......

get a kiddie pool. they are sooooooo hard to clean

i cannot be held responsible for my actions if that inspector shows back up at my door. but you know, my pool is just about to turn green.....and i did just get a new swimsuit the fireman won't let me wear in public......would be a shame to waste it on the ducks

I went out last night to put everyone up and my black copper marans roo who is this giant tough looking bird had gotten out of his pen, broke into the grow out pen which I had opened up for the day and and squeezed under the brooder lamp I keep in there. All the poor Tweens were huddled in a corner of the run and this butterball was nice and toasty. He didn't look happy when I took him back to his run.
