Coop Heating Climate zone 6 (Corrales, NM)
Sat, 09/13/2008 - 17:11
I was wondering how many of you use electrical heating for your coops during the winter. I was consideringnot heating the coop this winter, but instead using a lot of straw insulation on the inside.
My parents chickens in the Albuquerque North Valley suffered frost bite on their crowns in the winter but their coop wasn't well insulated. I'm hoping I can avoid this without having to run an electrical cord out there. Any suggestions/experiences.
We have a passive solar coop with a south facing window. We keep bricks inside the window that heat up during the day and release heat at night. It seems to work pretty well. The coop is also fairly air tight, and I know that a drafty coop can be worse than a poorly insulated one.
I know that in past winters KT has put bag balm on the chickens crops to help prevent frost bite.
When we had our first chicks outside before they were full grown we gave them a livestock heating pad, which worked really well.
Anything broken on this site is my fault. Feel free to let me know!
