Can't use them as heaters anymore?

This last winter I was asked whether I knew if Tractor Supply still carried 100W bulbs since the person used them to keep a pipe in a barn from freezing and the current one had burnt out. The closest thing I could think of (that was easy to find) was a 275W heat lamp, but that uses a lot more power.

    R = V^2 / P = (110V)^2 / 100W = ~120Ω

I'm facing this issue with my hens. Most reptile stores sell ceramic heaters in lightbulb form, and they gave done the trick nicely
