Chicken Coop Heater - Have you used this product?

[TeenageRooster's Dad]

I just installed a Cozy Coop heater today. In my coop no way will it heat the coop. Provides a place for the chickens to go in front of.
It has two heat settings 100watt and 200 watt. Between this and my heat lamp I should be pretty good. It's not like a heating pad that stays a constant temp. It heats up to a set temperature (hot enough that I can't touch it when fully heated) shuts down to cool off to another set temp and the cycle keeps repeating. Like I said I just installed it today so the chickens still have to figure it out also and I can't speak for how long it will last. I have it under the poop board under the roost hoping to send some of the heat up.

Seems like a nice design, never heard before. Is there a fan system built in? Kinda looks like a pool filter module... thinking out loud here sorry lol...

If secured fire wise, drive-in french-fries heat lamps in a decently enclosed coop seem to work well; not to get all thermodynamics d-bag but "convection" circulates pretty good.

Not the best watts saver but meh... works good and keeps them alert too... they lay more while on planet Mars like setup .. seriously they do

No fan, just radiant heat from it. I also have the Mac Donald's heat lamp. I agree heat lamps as long as they are secured properly should be fine.

Be aware that dust accumulated on lamp and its guard can spark to cause fire and ignite the rest of the beddings. Chicken generate a lot of dust. So if you decided on heat lamps even though secure be aware of the dust or flying loose feathers that could start a fire. Be safe.

X2 what @Spartan22 said.
I am in the coop several times a day and clear it off when I go. It was funny when I first put it on this week, Rooster came up to it and started purring like a cat. Maybe it reminded him of his chick days.

BEWARE...
that food service bulbs often have a safety coating...
which is toxic to birds.
