Last year, my wife and I decided to get some chickens for our farm.
We got a total of 15 chickens.
In the beginning, will you put the chickens in a shed behind the house. The shed was old and falling down. We knew it wasn’t going to be a permanent place for the animals, but it was the best we could do at the time. My wife and I started building a shed for the chickens out of the scrap wood around our yard. The chicken coop came together really quickly. We had entrances in and out of the building and lots of places for the chickens to play. One thing that we considered was the fact that it gets very cold during the winter months. The lack of heat and warm air can be bad for the birds. My wife and I did not want to wait until winter to solve this problem. We went to a hardware store that sells space heaters. We looked at lots of different heating machines, before we made our final decision. We chose a radiant heater that can be installed anywhere. We chose the top of the chicken coop for the location of the radiant heater. We installed the radiant heater in the roof as part of the chicken coop. We made sure the heater would not cause any damage to the animals. We specifically purchased a heater that has a cool touch feature. Although the heater gives out a great deal of warm air, it is not hot on the outside of the machine. This makes it much easier for the chickens to stay safe.
