Hey folks. I'm rather new at the chicken thing. Although I've had my girls since last Easter. I have a question for anyone out there that can tell me a bit more about heating my chicken coop. It's about 4"x6" and I have 6 ladies. At the moment it's getting rather cool and damp at night. So I installed a Heat Lamp which is on from &pm. to 7am. Problem is: they don't seem to want to go inside where it's nice and warm when it gets dark. All I hear is a lot of talking and grumbling once I stick them in. Could I be interupting their sleep cycle by having the Heat Lamp ON all night? Any feedback would ber greatly appreciated. Thanks
