So I had a thought and I’m not sure if this has been done before. Winter is coming and having power in the coop will likely be a must. I plan to run an extension cord out to the coop mainly for a deicer. Maybe an overhead light so I can see when daylight is an issue. The plan is to run Romex to an outlet and the light.
Is there a way to wire up the coop and backfeed power from the extension cord? Similar to an RV and shore power or an automatic transfer switch like a generator? Then in the spring, I could wind up the extension cord and put it away. The extension cord is a heavy duty exterior contractor grade.
Is this a terrible idea?
