Tired of frozen eggs & frozen water dishes? Do
you feel bad for your pet birds when it is really cold out? Are you getting less and less eggs in the winter? We are here to help with tried and true heating solutions
for your chickens. Chickens will lay more in the winter, be more comfortable and live longer if you
heat provide some heat for them. Please read below for suggestions if you are unsure what you need: Small Coop Heater Suggestions The number one selling item is the FLAT PANEL COOP HEATER- ECONOMICAL, Listed first
below. Click on the item name, for a better description. If your eggs are freezing, try a small poultry nesting box heater. Can lay in the nesting box, or where chickens
sleep. See Below- also you can set plastic water's on top. 12 inches wide-
Solar Water Dishes, or Heated Bowls The Solar Water bowl is Thermo insulated,portable, and works up to 20 Degrees F The metal waterer, and metal base, work
the best for really cold temperatures (10 degrees tested), and if you have more than 6 chickens.
Medium Sized Coop Heater Suggestions You may want to consider
purchasing the following: A flat panel heater that screws
into the wall- listed below, our number one selling item- This is safe for a coop, and because there is
no running fan like a space heater, that gets clogged with dust, this will last for years to come. This is my FAVORITE
heater. This uses only 5.5 amps and 650 watts and it doesn't run my electric bill up. I have 2 in my coop,
which is 8X12 or so. Doesn't blow air around and has a automatic safety shut off. It does not regulate the temperature
so you should get the thermo outlet or a temp controller, as well. You will most likely need a combination of lamps, and flat panel heaters, or other
products to keep all your chickens warm and water defrosted. Flat panel heater, will radiate heat throughout the building,
and the flat panel floor heater will keep waterers defrosted. This is the least expensive to run, and only uses 400 watts
of power, and emits plenty of heat. Heat Emitter Bulbs- To spot heat areas
where the birds roost, or for newly hatched peeps in the spring, these bulbs are long lasting and do not emit light.
See other page on site- Temperature Controllers This is an outlet with a temperature regulator in it. It will turn any 2 devices plugged into it on when
it reaches 35 degrees F and below, and turns off when it reaches 45 degrees F above. A nice way to regulate your coop
temperature. Hatching Chicken Eggs When your peeps
hatch, you may want to try a 150 watt ceramic heater bulb. Make sure you put a thermometer inside the box or area you are
keeping the peeps. Be careful NOT to burn them, and leave plenty of room for them to move away from the bulb, if need be 95
Degrees the first week they hatch, and 5 degrees lower each week, is the norm. The 150 watt is very hot, so you will need
to keep it up relatively high, from the ground. See Chicken FAQ'S for some common question and answers. Also the
Poultry Forum has a wealth of information.
Product Satisfaction I I have had UPS shatter a few heaters, but otherwise, you can feel very comfortable ordering from us! I have
chickens, and have and use all these products. I have had my ceramic bulbs for 3 years now, and so far they are still running
great and keeping my chickens warm in our cold Pennsylvania winters. I am going on my 6th year with my flat panel coop heater
that works great. I have a few small 12 inch coop heaters, in the nesting boxes that my birds sleep in, as well. I hope you
find this helpful, for your heating solutions this winter! The Solar Water Heater is new, and I am anxious to try it
this winter! Please email me if you need some help figuring out what to purchase.
