Oh crap! I just remembered I have my Peacocks 12 foot octagon coop that I could use. My Peacocks will be going in the barn for the winter so it will be empty. It's not insulated but with a good heat lamp with won't be freezing. When was the first swap in Milford this year. That's what I used for my first chicks I got at the begining of the year and they were fine. They were able to get under the heat or away from it.. Darlene I think your coop will stay plenty warm for your adult Seramas. Especially if you insulated it

I hope you are right about that but last week when it was colder, i was freezing when i went in to feed and water...I have been trying to take up as much of the space inthere with bales of shavings so it is a smaller area, but I think I may still have to have some kind of heat source but now I see i have to wory about a fire...OMG, Why do I keep getting animals! arghhhhhhhhhhhh

Well, "Blackie" settled down and is quite content by herself so I decided to keep her as a single and actually she's become so tame with all the extra attention she getting it's been a plus so I think we will be only keeping her.

Ya, that dust is a pain in the butt! Is it from the shavings or the birds themselves anyway!! I just put some in the shed we insulated and am thinking it needs some heat source...does the lamp really warm it up enough? How many watts is the bulb and is it the red ones??? I am afraid it will be too cold for the seramas and the modern games..the breeder told me their combs can get frostbitten and I have one that is dubbed and others that need dubbing...anyone know a dubber???

I insulated my small coop very well and put a 250 watt Red heat lamp in the coop and right now it's 85 degrees in there. I'm sure when it gets freezing out it won't be that warm but I think it will stay above 60. I'll soon find out. I'm sure your coop will stay warm enough for the Seramas with a good heat lamp. Some people don't even keep their Seramas heated in the Winter

The problem with heating a coop is not only do you have to worry about fire, but what do you do when the power goes out (ice storm of 08)? IF you have a generator, do you have enough power to include the heat in the barn? If not, when you have no power your birds have no heat, and they are used to heat, so now you have a problem. If they get conditioned to the cold, then loss of a heat source is no longer a problem. I am a firm believer in insulation, insulation, and insulation... did I mention insulation?
