Heating pads

[gavinandallison]

Last year I remember seeing heating pads that can be attached to the walls of a coop. Does anyone remember who sells these? I want to get one for my Silkies...

I bought a small heating mat for the floor of my coop loft at www.shopthecoop.com

I noticed she has flat panel heaters for the wall and also ceramic heat bulbs that give off heat but not light.

Hope this helps!

Google flat panel heaters and SweeterHeater

You can find them on Amazon and other places.

Hi there! I live in the Seattle area. The winters can get a bit harsh for three or four weeks so I am worried about keeping the coop warm. I have four cold hardy hens so they will probably be OK, but I want them to be comfortable not just survive! I bought a small heating mat (which they love) and a 100 watt ceramic bulb from Shopthecoop.com. I may buy a small flat panel heater for the ceiling instead of the ceramic bulb. The ceramic bulb works great though, I have already used it in the coop because we had a very cold Spring here and I needed to keep the coop warm as the chicks moved out of the house during that time. I wouldn't want a light on all the time at night if I were a chicken. So I thought a ceramic bulb would be nice to heat the coop but not bother the chickens. I'm just trying to get prepared for the winter, I may buy the small heated poultry waterer she has for sale too. Hope you find the right panel heater you are looking for!
