My coop isn't ventilated, officially. It has a southern facing opening (18"x 18") that attached to the covered, outdoor run, and that's it. The opening is on the opposite side of the shed from their roost. I'm with ya on the heat lamp. I don't want to use it, I just feel so bad for my sweet girl.

Much like the rest of the US, we've had sub-zero temps. I've never given my hens any supplemental heat, as they roost inside a shed. I noticed today that my girl Roxanne has some black rings at the top of her comb. Is this (probably) frostbite? 😭 Should I add a heat lamp for them until temps rise?
