My Dad came up with a creative idea to heat our chicken coop this week (our morning temperatures are expected to be below freezing for about a week): He hooked up some water hose heaters to heat our coop. As far as I can tell, there is no reason why it shouldn't be safe (designed for outdoors, and they heat the coop to just above freezing).
This does mean our chickens will be going from a 30 something degree coop to a 20 something degree run in the morning (26 outside and 36 inside this morning). Is that too much of a temperature difference? If not, I'm thinking that should work well for us as 26 is about as low as our winter temperatures get
