Infrared light and sleeping

[Shadrach]

Hmm? Are saying Canadian people shouldn't keep chickens because the fire hazard is too high? My Silkies and Rosecomb would of froze to death at -35C.
I definitely have safe set ups and my Coops are only heated to cut the chill.

I am saying some consideration for the appropriate breed for the natural environment is usually a good idea. There are landrace breeds in Finland for example that fare reasonably well in cold conditions.
I'm saying that a well constructed coop for the prevalent environmental conditions should negate the necessity of additional heat.
I'm pretty sure I didn't mention anything about Canadian people.

No you didn't although you mentioned cold climates.
No big deal. I was asking. I do what needs to be done.

In my part of the world, limestone gravel does not burn. That is the surface my barn light is suspended over and illuminates. If the lighting helps control predator losses, then it is arguably needed. We need to use common sense and assume others are using it until proven otherwise. No sense in obligate contrarianism.

I agree broadly but ime common sense is not something every one comes equipped with.

I smell elitism.

Not from there you don't.
