Racoons will tear right through that chicken wire in seconds. Chicken wire is meant to keep chickens in their area “NOT KEEP PREDATORS OUT”
I live in Dallas too. Do you think chickens keep themselves pretty warm in the North Texas winter? How much ventilation do you usually leave out open in your coop during the winter? If the chickens do well in the winter in Dallas, then I might not buy a heating element at all.
THANKS.
Then don’t use it.
Glad to help!
I’ve read that it’s best to age it a little before it goes in the compost pile.

thanks
