Can I use this inside the coop? It says "for outdoor use"

I used it inside the coop with no problem. I put it up on a couple of stone pavers so it did not touch the straw.

I use mine in my chicken run, in the portion that is underneath my coop, and out of the weather. It sits on bricks on bare earth. My only question, since it is a warming element, is could it be placed on a wooden floor if it's inside the henhouse. What kind of flooring are you planning on putting it on? It does not warm up very much, enough to heat water to keep it from freezing. If you are planning on putting it on a wooden floor, I would contact the manufacturer and ask. Personally, I'm hesitant to put any warming element, including a heat lamp, anywhere that would be sitting on wood or straw.

I wouldn't use it with straw on the floor. I put it in my pen that has a covered roof and open sides.

It does get pretty warm but we have ours inside the coop on a dirt floor. We just make sure to leave a vouple feet around it clear just to be safe. Of course do this at your own risk, every coop is different and although this works fine for us it may not for everyone.

It does not get hot. Its a warming heater to keep water from freezing. So the temp is just above freezing point

It is says it can be used outdoors . I would use it in a green house. However, I haven't had mine a year and the bottom shelf rusted out. Next time I will spray it with Rustoleum before I put it out on my porch. Wouldn't buy this one again.

Yes, I only use it outdoors. I put it in the shed if rain is expected, though.

I use it inside, I think it is described as outdoor because there are drain holes in the shelving. I wouldn't use it indoors if you don't have something under the plants to catch excess drainage from watering.

Depends on what you use it for. If you are just keeping your outdoor chickens in for the night then it will probably be OK. otherwise it will be too small. They won't have much room to move around. The coop is a lot smaller than it appears in the picture. Hope this helps.

I use it inside. I plugged it into one of the outlets, actually two as there are two separate items. I am not sure if it can be used outside. In the enclosed instructions, it did not say anything about the outside. Hope it helped.

Can I used this in a chick coop. Also, where is the power source - what does it look like?

I've been using mine outdoors. No issues what so ever. I'm guessing it would be fine to use indoors as well.

Believe this is indoor only. Usually it says in description if it can be used outdoors.

I'm not sure that I would use it outdoors. The hinges and moving parts would probably rust over time. It would be fine in a garage or covered area. It's a great unit, very easy to assemble, very sturdy and attractive. Purchased 2 more!

The coop is made of redwood cedar. Very good quality. However, very small. Enough room for 2-4 at the most. Its a good start for chicks. Good luck.

It is only for indoor use. Read the reviews that gave it only one star. It is not waterproof and has a warning that is for indoor use only. Meaning, put it in a barn, garage, etc...but do not put it outdoors.

You can mount it on the ladder as long as the chicks are closed off inside. Just keep it low and away from the plastic pan. The heat will rise and keep them warm, but only if they have most of there feathers. I did this at week 4 with low temps of 45 degrees. I pulled it out at daylight and let them have access to the rest of the coop. You can also add a battery light inside to make them feel safe.

I think it is probably called outdoor because it is durable enough to use outdoors. I'm sure it would also be fine to use these indoors.

This trap can be used in a chicken or peacock coop, however; keep in mind that the unit should not be exposed to the elements. Also for best results, we recommend keeping the plates clear of debris.

We used them in our chicken coop... they are protected from the elements though.

i guess u can , but I would remove the wheels after so your coop is resting flat on the ground. Me & my hub was able to move it very slow by picking it up on both ends with the chickens still in it . We have four chickens that will be laying hens and would not put more because of the size.
