Floor Heating for My Chickens
During the winter time our chickens enjoy a spacious greenhouse as their home. But how do the hens withstand the rough Scandinavian winter in this non-insulated structure?
The hens walk on a deep bedding made up out of wood chips, saw dust and wood shavings. The bedding is over 30cm deep. The heritage breed chickens will walk on it all winter and mix their manure into the deep bedding as they scratch in it for insects and grains that we through on the ground. This aerates the bedding and start a composting process which produces heat. Through this process the whole bedding becomes a source of heat for the birds.
