Hmm, I've heard birdbath heaters work excellent. Maybe not all are created equal? Some better than others?
I plan on making two just like Pharka's above. One for the big coop and one for the bachelor coop/tractor.
I'll be looking into what birdbath heaters work the best instead of getting what I find first now.
My brother just made one but hasn't got the heater yet, I'll have to let him know he might want to research to make sure he gets a good one.
Glad to help you ...We need some specifics of your coop & pics would be great
I think we all should be concerned...Even more concerning is the ignorant replies below the article. We are doomed.
New news to me. Just had my welsummer a few weeks ago come down with mareks like symptoms, brownleghorn last week. Everyone else seems healthy and energetic. Don't know, maybe it was something else. Both of them were vaccinated, along with about a half dozen more. Silkies and all my SandHill stock, NO! And they are all together....I only had the others vaccinated because Meyers offered it pretty cheap, didn't know. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't have.I remember reading about this a while back while doing some research, so yes - it is sort of 'old news'. However, it did open my eyes to the potential for problems within the flock.

Maybe everything will be fine, just doesn't seem like my luck ever goes that way....
How old were these chickens ? Are they still on grower / starter / finisher ?Just had my welsummer a few weeks ago come down with mareks like symptoms, brownleghorn last week.
