Here in Northern Connecticut, we have had an unusually snow-free winter, for which my flock and I are tremendously grateful. But, after 60°F temperatures on Thursday, we were treated to 8″ of snow and temps in the teens. As Hartford native, Mark Twain once said of New England: “if you don’t like the weather, wait a minute.” Please enjoy the photos.

Where can you buy one of these heaters, I use 2 heat lamps, but I have them wired up to the ceiling and I have sand under them, no straw or shavings. One in the coop and one in the run.
It makes me sad to see this fire. Love your Blogs and give a ways Kathy.
Thanks for all the Winter weather information. My girls will appreciate having a informed owner!
Safe heating, they think of everything. Would love to have one!
Always windier and colder up here on my hill than local forecasts….glad to see additional safe heat sources besides sweeter heater…..
I lost half my flock to a predator attack. So sad. I miss them terribly. The rest of the girls would really love a safe heater to make up for the warmth lost that awful night. Thank you for all the helpful advice.
