Putting Cord Into Coop

This is actually what we did, except we used two of those, one for the outside and one for the inside, reverse to sort of keep out any draft.

I did just that except my connection is outside the coop in my garage. Just make sure it stays dry. Works for me!

I got an electrician to run an underground wire in conduit from a breaker box to a breaker box. It is according to code, although I did not have to meet code. From the breaker box in the shed which contains my coop, I have two separate circuits to outlets, one in the coop and one in the shed, both with exterior covers to keep the dust out although they are protected from water. I also have two different circuits to two different lights, one in the coop and one in the shed where the food is stored. I have plenty of current to run whatever I want and am not worried about burning my coop and shed down due to a short circuit. I have power to run any tools I want down there which has come in real handy. I can keep my brooder in the coop.

It did cost a bit but I am good to go for a long time.
