Will pipe heat tape work? Is it a hazard? OR would it be better to use a light bulb in a metal pan under the bucket? Which would be less costly?

I am part of a small group of people who have come together online and on the ground to assist a teenage boy living in the slums of Kampala, Uganda, to set up a very small scale chickens business. We are collating links and information that we hope will be of help not just to him but to others who keep chickens on a small scale. Adding a link to this page in our 'Useful Links' document in our Facebook group, 'Arnold's Chickens Enterprise', you are welcome to view and join if you wish! Ceris Hi Bob,

Birds have been known to block others just out of spite, so narrow holes can lead to issues. I have lower holes for young chickens and prefer higher ones for the older ones.
