“If you want an easy way to raise chicks then get this heater and the pop up pen brooder. I couldn't be more pleased with the 2 together. The heater doesn't really pump out heat and heat the pen but the chicks lie right up against it to keep warm when they need to. According to my anemometer the temperature at 4 inches away is 95.7 degrees and about a foot away 88.2 degrees. It doesn't really do much at the opposite end of the brooder- I have the heater inside the coop for the birds. And no the heater doesn't cook or burn the birds at all when they lie against it. I highly recommend this heater as the birds will go closer or move away from the heater as necessary and it will not cook the pen at all. It's perfect for raising chicks. Again, I couldn't be happier how easy raising my orpingtons with the pop brooder and cozy heater is. If you want a simple way to raise your chicks buy this combo. You will not be disappointed.”
Thank you for taking the time to review the Cozy Coop Heater! You are so right in that this and the pop-up brooder are excellent for raising your little ones! The Cozy Coop Heater is safe to use and perfect for your chicks or chickens to "cozy" up to when they need some warmth but doesn't over do it and allows for an area when they want to cool off a little. We hope My Pet Chicken will be able to help you in the future!
“This is exactly what we needed for the young chicks while they are in the enclosure in the house. We are planning to use this in the coop come winter. We are using it with the feet; it is very sturdy.”
“The heater works fine and keeps the coup above freezing as long as the ambient temp is above the mid 20's. Our birds are in the Seattle area so it is very rare to even be below freezing.
I did have a switch problem and had to replace it. The replacement was from Cozy Coup. Installation required me to splice the cord which I am not happy about.”
“I utilized these ambient heaters in the chicken coop during our deep freeze. All of our girls survived thanks to heated water and these heaters. We had 40 below and negative temps in our coop and they made it just fine. These heaters are awesome and well worth the investment. I will not use them on a normal cold winters night, as our girls are cold hardy (upper teens), just not single digits and below. Get one or two.”
