Sub 20 Degrees

Might depend on wattage of bulb 250 I think is highest 150 lowest I’d go with lowest wattage. There are also sweeter heaters.

I have this product in the ducks bedroom:

It is 200 watts and does not emit a ton of heat, you can put your hand on it when it’s fully warm. Not as warm I think as the red lights.

That to me is safer than heat lamps. Its very similar to sweeter heaters.

I have heat lamps from raising ducklings. We get quite cold here as well. I worry about the safety of them, though. What’s the electric for those heat lamps? Our duck house is low voltage.

Our friend that is an electrician hooked up our duck house so I can plug other things in from the outside. I have the lamp basically nailed up securely from the rafters so they cannot touch it or knock it down. I only use it when it is seriously cold which is not that often here compared to many others. The other morning when it was 16 degrees I used it and when I opened the duck house and checked the inside temp it was just over 30 degrees so I felt ok with it.

I got 2 of the same thing last year but they did not seem to warm up the duck house. Or at least mine.

I think I am going to invest in a sweet heater and hang it from the rafters.

It has to be low either right over them or attached to the wall down where they can get warmth off it. They aren’t made to heat a whole coop.
