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