Safely Heating A Coop

[Apis mellifera]

Keep breeds that are cold hardy like chanteclers and wyandottes. Chanteclers never get frost bite.

Thank you so much! I like the radiant heater - something they can warm up by & still have the fresh air. I’ve done heat lamps but not really safe. I appreciate your help!

You’re welcome! Yes, don’t do heat lamps if you can help it, much more dangerous. Idk if my post was clear but the large radiant heater I referred to for very cold -30s is the oil filled type. They heat very well. But you do have to have a safe place up away from the bedding to put them, like a stand or something in the coop.
