Anyone know if this could be used for chickens? thanks!

I do not think so, as it is meant for reptiles and has UV (you need infrared for chickens)

It would take down the volume, but heat and humidity in the coop would probably not be very good for them. I would suggest using tar paper, it'll deaden more and won't absorb moisture if laid down correctly. Also, the foam really is really only meant to be set on the wall and stay there, so pieces can fall off if pecked at or scratched, what have you, and then would pose a danger to your chicken.

I don't think it's possible. I had to put the cooler inside the coop. We only have one chicken and the water lasted a long time! The chicken also learned how to drink from it right away. I think this is a great product, only downside is the price.

If there the size of quail eggs you will need quail rack. Im using ggame fowl eggs which are smaller than most chickens so I assume it will work.

Chickens will naturally peck at things and especially if they sense water is near. My chickens love to peck at the faucets in my pens and It is not unusual for me to go out and find they have flooded their pen by pecking on the faucet handle so I don't think your chickens will have a problem finding the waterer at al. Just do not hook this directly up to faucet unless it has something to lower the pressure

I think that it could be used to roast a chicken. I had never thought of.....thanks for the idea!!

hmmm, I don't know and I haven't been in chicken houses before, but I don't see why not. The cats love it (both old and young) and it does a great job with odor control. We would use it for our rabbit cage, except he's happy with what we're already using. Sorry I can't be of more help. I'd try it, though.

I don't see why not. You just buy another run and do not screw in the end piece. I have three chickens and I let them free range. They only go in their coop at night or to lay. Barely spending any time in the run. I think three chickens is too much for a run that size. It is not too much space at all.

I don't have chickens. I got it to kill fleas. It didn't work, only made the litter box smell REALLY bad. lol

It is great for keeping smaller birds out of my blueberry patch. If your chickens are on the docile side, it would probably work, but if you have some big birds that are persevering, I would not spend the money on it. It is not going to have the strength of good old chicken wire.

I don't really know the answer to your questions, however, I would think no harm to chickens and the flies would have to ingest it somehow. I would highly suggest, no matter what answers you find here, that you call the company and speak to the CEO or someone to get the scoop straight from them. THEY ought to know for certain, or perhaps have a solution for your particular needs. Good luck with it and all the best to you and the chickens! :-)

I've used it and I am not sure how much my chickens really used it. It got very cold here shortly after I installed it and now the bucket is frozen. They won't really get back at it until it warms up...so I'm not sure. However, I have friends that use it and they have had 100% success with it so I'm looking forward to trying it again. Good luck!

You could as it is coated to keep the animal from tearing. But to fence in a yard would be expensive. What not use chicken wire? make sure it is down in the ground some.

I use it for my chickens. I have pine shavings down for them and they lay eggs in the top section. I have multiple coops so usually only the younger chickens actually sleep in it since there is no roost. This coop wouldn't offer much protection against predators on it's own but I have it inside a much larger run that is secure so it doesn't matter much. This coop does make an excellent coop for chicks. I use this as my brooder, putting a light on one end on the ground with a tarp over it to keep the heat in and leave the other end open for them to cool off when needed. Works out perfectly.

It was made to feed chickens (attach a plastic bottle to the top and put it on the ground). But I used it to make bird feeders. Instead of a plastic bottle, I screwed a mason jar to the top and hung them from a shepherd's hook.

I have one of these in my chicken coop (plastic prefab one) in one of the nesting boxes- it is the only small one that will fit. The chickens prefer to eat out of the other one outside, but when they are closed in they do use it. The only adaptation I did was to put a 1" piece of plastic across the bottom edge (drilled through sides and used a zip tie-trimmed close-- to keep the pellets from getting tossed out as the chickens eat. Saw it originally in a blog about my Formex SnapLock Coop-

I wouldn't think so, they have to bite on it. you could probably use a chicken waterer
