In the Brooder
When we put the chicks outside in May we used heat lamps to keep the coop warm. With winter approaching I'm starting to worry about keeping it warm enough. Most of my flock are adults (6mo) we have ducks and chickens. But I also currently have 6 week old chicks still inside. It gets cold here in winter its not out of the realm of possibilities for -20° F. Snow, sleet and wind. The coop is sturdy and I'm sealing off the solar vent in the roof for winter. But keeping it warm, keeping water from freezing and not burning the flock or coop down is really important! What does everyone use?
