Bought a new heater for my coop,it works great.We will see tonight what it can do,-32 for tonight and -14 all day tomorrow.It was -12 last night and the coop stayed 37.But the wind is blowing tonght and that will make a difference to.I also took a soda bottle and put holes in it and seed inside,the cohins drained it buy rolling it around the silkies don`t touch it.They all get bored having to stay in for days on end. I hung some cabbage from a string they all were scared of that.I have to say this heater works way better than the heat lamps.I put it on 750 watt,it also has 1500 watt.Wal mart $30.00. Trying to break the 7 broody silkies so I put up screens in front of the nesting boxes,they were not very happy with me
