Serious question, how many of you actually use those fancy chicken coop heaters?

I dropped $90 on a 'cozy coop' heater last December because I was convinced my hens would freeze during that cold snap we had in Ohio. After a week of using it, I peeked in and they were all huddled away from it, huddled together like they always do. Did some reading and realized chickens handle cold way better than I thought, and the heater was just a fire risk. Anyone else waste cash on something the chickens didn't even want?

Read something similar in a farming blog last winter.

Oh honey, those heaters are a scam. Chickens self regulate fine in the cold.
