Hey all,
This will be my first winter with chickens and I've been researching methods to prevent eggs from freezing. As such I began to look for heating mats and have seen many seedling and reptile mats but with my nesting box size of 16" x 48" (divided into three separate boxes by removable partitions) I needed something bigger than a 10 x 20" mat and I came across this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013V1PYA/?tag=backy-20
I would put this on the bottom of the nesting box with those plastic egg laying mats (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071WLHM8W/?tag=backy-20) and hay on top. Looking for thoughts on this as it would reduce the number of cords to plug in as well as hoping to provide others who are researching with some info.
Let me know what you all think!
Thanks!
