Cozy Products Safe Chicken Coop Pet Heater

[3 NH reds]

We recently had our chick disaster. 11 of our 20 chicks were taken in one night, weasel is my guess due to the headless ones we found in the brambles. I moved them to a Turkey coop for now and replaced our electric fence with a new one and got a new fence tester I was going to wait until spring to get chicks but our layers are older Orps that lay 2 eggs for 10 birds every other day now. So I ordered new chicks to be delivered around October 24 and we are here in Ma so heat is a concern. I found the space heater online and I was wondering if it is any good?

So sorry for your loss

I’ve talked of this story before ..
We ordered a cozy heater from amazon , it was great for a month or two then one morning I smelt burning ??

We took it off the wall and there was black melted plastic on the sealed electric box on the back . It said don’t open but when we did , hubby said the wires had touched causing sparking and melting plastic...

Would it have burned the coop down ? Not sure , they offered a replacement, I said no thanks

We use 750-1000 watt heaters with a fan , hanging on a chain in each coop , I blow them out each month . It’s been 4 winters with the same heaters now.

Good luck
It’s a lot to take in .

Have you researched the heating pad method ? My cat sleeps on one all winter for 10 years...read about it

I will look into the heating pad idea. The whole idea of heating in an area that has wood chips or hay scares me due to the fire hazzard..
