Safety Precaution When Using Lighting or Heat Lamps in Your Chicken Coop or Hen House

When installing any type of lighting or heat lamps in your hen house or coop be sure that it is attached securely, is placed where your birds cannot knock it over or perch on it, and do not use extension cords if you can avoid it. You should put in a wire cage around it, and place it high enough that they cannot climb atop of the cage so that your birds will not get burned by it, and so if it were to fall it would remain inside the wire caging. Make sure that lighting and heat lamps are more than 3 feet from everything and anything that could be flammable.
