What the heck is this thing on the wall of my coop?

Maybe set the waterer on it to keep it from freezing?

Looks like a heater to set the waterer on.

Hit it with a big hammer.

A light for in the house that the chickens can't break or get burnt on.

I agree. Set waterer on it to keep from freezing. Fully loaded coop, sweet!

Seems to be a type of homemade radiant heater. The bulb heats the metal which radiates heat to the coop. Before using (if you plan to) make sure the wiring is safe. It may need to be rewired.

Im thinking that it scares me and I probably will not be using it no mater what it is.

 

[farmer_lew]

That is probably the best idea.

Mmmn, if u get freezing temps..and u put a low watt bulb in it..it could really come in handy to keep water from freezing

Man that's a great idea..do see an electrical cord anywhere? Wires?
Etc
