Would a couple 100watt solar panels be enough for lights, & a couple heaters in a coop?

I sometimes have to spy on mine out the window because if they hear the door open they IMMEDIATELY go into glaring positions

When they see me go outside it’s “BAWW BAWW BAWW BAWW BAWW BAWW BAWW LET US OUT RIGHT NOW BAWW”

Mine line up in an intimidating row and they all glare while Tillie goes 'baaaaaaaAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" over and over
it's quite terrifying

Ok, I believe you
Why did I think cows were bigger?

He’s not full grown yet. Also- I am really small, I’m not too heavy for him lol. Weight capacity for cows at this age is about half their weight, and I weigh less than a fourth of him.

Did I tell you guys the other day about how they tried to follow me while I refilled their feeder and got stuck in the snow?

My hose doesn’t reach all the way to the back of the run to fill up the waterer, so I have to stand a few feet away and aim it in so that the water goes into the bucket. While I was filling it up the other day I didn’t realize Joy was standing in the hose. Some of The other chickens were over on the other side next to the waterer, drinking water (because they only become interested in it when I’m messing with it) and hanging out next to the feeder. As soon as Joy stepped off of the hose, the water pressure went wild so it started spraying out everywhere and got ALL THE OTHER CHICKENS WET!!! I swear Joy planned the whole thing

Did I tell you guys the other day about how they tried to follow me while I refilled their feeder and got stuck in the snow?

So the other day, they had completely emptied their feeder. Keeping them in the run while I'm refilling it is a hopeless task, and it's ok because they follow me back in with the food. As you know, it's VERY snowy out. So, because their brains are the size of walnuts, they thought it was a GREAT idea to follow me THROUGH the snow to where I refill the feeder (feed is stored under the porch). However, as soon as they got to the end of the bit of trampled, packed down snow, they realized the error in their ways. Ruth was able to go back into the run, but Poppy, Round Chicken, and Tillie sprinted into the deep snow without a second thought. They then were like 'THIS DISPEASES ME" so they activated helicopter mode and attempted to fly straight out of the snow. They don't know that chickens aren't helicopters, and ended up in various places around the yard. Poppy and Round Chicken wouldn't move after landing in the deep snow 'THIS DISPLEASES ME I HAVE LOST THE ABILITY TO WALK THANK YOU" and Tillie somehow ended up on the porch? Then thought it was a great idea to fly onto a rock that was also covered in snow? I had to rescue all three of them because they wouldn't walk on their own.
