I am in Southern Mn. and all I use for heat in winter is a heat lamp bulb in the ceiling light fixture and a heat lamp hanging directly on top of water fountain. On those rare -20 windy nights it will go below freezing in the coop but the water will not freeze with that lamp right on top of it. I also bank outside walls with 2 high bales. I have my entire south wall filled with windows so when winter sun is shining and outside temp is about 20 it will get up to about 50 by day. Grandkids love those little fuzzy chicks and I love those farm fresh eggs. Don't know about your wiring needs. I built mine within the old hog house so wire was already there. If you are going to keep them locked in coop when they start laying like I do then I always grab a hand full of grass and weeds twice a day for them to eat and scratch in. Gives the yolks that nice orange color that you cannot get with store bought eggs. You and the kids will have a blast raising chickens. There is really not as much to it as most would have you believe. It is not rocket science. Make sure they have fresh clean water at all times. Throw in all your table scraps and garden scraps and let them go to work for you. If the kids start handling them from day one they will grow up very tame. Have fun, The Flying Belgian.
