Keeping Chickens Warm In The Winter

and hey! what are your temperatures where he is shivering? Outside? In the coop? Is he in the coop when he is shivering or outside? He looks adorable, but I think others are concerned he might have something else wrong. It is very cold up north here, but what is like right now where you live in California? Is your roo in an enclosed coop or is there adequate ventilation where he is shivering?
 
good coop!
any pics?

i will share photos soon. i was wondering though, you goys wanted photos of him while he was shaking. i cant show the shaking in the photo though!
I have 2 hoop coops an 8x8.. currently has 2 CX hens









And a 8x 24 that has everybody else: 24 chickens and 5 turkeys
Although the halloween hatch sometimes stays in the 8x8



Turkeys in the south half on top of old dog house turned into a coop.. now a huddle house


Divied so chickens can use both sides, but get away from turkeys.. old purple prefab coop used as roost, nest box and huddle house


was 4f and no one came out when I opened at 9am... usually I open at dawn and everyone comes out

he has a small closed off area, then a pen where he roams. i did just put a tarp over the pen, and that is helping. the shivering has pretty much stopped.
