What kind of heating is needed for a CHICKEN COOP?
I am planning a chicken coop with a ceiling height of 2 meters. The room still has large heat losses. Climate/What do you recommend for heating? Share your experience, please!

First of all, eliminate heat loss. Further, depending on the number of birds. 40-60 chickens in such a room will heat themselves quite well.
Has it ever occurred to you that you could somehow organize zone heating and control the temperature? I advise you to buy infrared heaters! Your chickens will be like in a solarium in winter))
The volume of the chicken coop must be accurately calculated according to the number of chickens that will be on the roost and that will hatch the chicks in the nests. The walls, ceiling and doors need to be well insulated. If the chickens are still cold, then you can hang special lamps in the chicken coop to warm the birds.
