I have a moderately well insulated 10X14 chicken house that's heated with a heat lamp and so far the water hasn't frozen at zero degree outside temps. It's a single slope roof, has six single pane windows and it's insulated with 3 1/2" of fiberglass with 1/4" plywood lining the inside walls. Sheeting on the outside of the studs is 1/2" plywood with black felt and steel siding. Floor is wood on skids with an air tight skirt around the lower part of the building. The door and windows aren't sealed all that well because it needs a little ventilation. So to make a long story short, keeping it tight and having some insulation goes a long way toward heating efficiency. I thought about using a little electric heater but I feel safer with the heat lamp in a situation like this. Oh yes, there are 15 chickens in there too but I don't know how much heat they give off.
