Howdy.....so I just installed the Eco-Heater and the thermostat that comes with it says it will kick on at 32 degrees. This is our first winter with the girls and I have never used a heat lamp before bc I wanted them to be acclimated to the cold temps (they are winter hardy birds). We get very cold temps here (our friends hen died last year at -18 degrees, frozen solid) i know that I don't want the heater to kick on unless it's negative temps. If you know of an online retailer that sells very low temp thermostats it would be greatly appreciated. Because we are right off the Continental Divide winters have sustained winds at 60mph (gusts last year were over 100mph) most of the winter. That easily puts our temps in the negative with windchill or just negative period.
Please save the posts about heating your coop and that they can survive in extremely cold temps. You do not live in Nederland, CO so you do no understand the winter temps we have with the insane wind. I only want the heat to kick on in minus fahrenheit temperatures.
Thank you in advance........

I attached a pic too.
