We live in Wyoming and just got a coop and 5 chickens. The coop is about 5 feel long and 2-3 feet deep with a caged run below. We are letting the chickens out during the day but I've heard that we need a heat lamp to keep them warm and laying during the winter. What sort should I get? what wattage bulb? Do I need to keep it on 24/7 or just at night or during the day? thanks in advance for your advice. Sarah
