I'm sure you are aware....but make sure that heat lamp is super, super well secured. Maybe a strong clamp holding tight on the clip on clamp. Been on a few coop and barn fires due to those. No Reese in this video? She's a star :~)
good tip...I have this one pretty tight.. it is screwed into the side of the wash basin...and that is why the basin is metal and not a cardboard box or anything plastic...I can def. see how someone can burn a house down this way. last night the chicks graduated from the lamp. they don't want it as much so I turned it off and they did just fine. next week it should be in the upper 80s so I can move them into the new coop I built...will show that in next video. :) for those getting g new chicks...be careful of that lamp, it can and will burn your house down!
