Thanks for the welcome, everyone!

This site is awesome! So much information!
 
I'm curious to hear how you're winterizing.... I'm in New Hampshire and it gets pretty cold here as well! What are you planning to do? :)
 
Well, we are just getting the coop wired so this has opened up our options considerably! We are re-insulating the inside this summer.

I have seen many coops around here that use baseboard heater mounted about 2-3 up a free wall, so are thinking of trying that. Also, continue to have the heat lamp above the roost. One person I know is trying an infrared light instead and we may look into that.

So, far that is our plan. It keeps evolving as time goes on but I think this year if we get it insulated and some baseboard heaters up we should be good to. I know some ppl discourage against them but I think it's the best option for us as it gets really, really cold here ( like -40C over night...I guess that would be -40F!!! Wow did not know they would be the same!!...thanks online conversion!!lol)

What do you have or plan to have?
