Wow!
That is so scary , glad your chickens weren't harmed and it hadn't spread any farther. You were lucky your neighbor was home and call fire dept.
We'll think twice about putting a heat lamp in our coop. We will just have to hope our 6 w/o's will be grown enough to prepare them for cold weather when it comes.
We were considering getting a kerosene heater and putting it in a metal dog cage so chicks couldn't get close to it, but now I'm wondering if it'll even be safe.
Thank you for warning us and hope you can get your coop rebuilt in time for winter,
