Chickens have more sense than most give them credit for - your coop sounds like it provides excellent shelter, as long as it is available to them they will be fine and will decide for themselves how much outside time is enough.I have a question. It's going to be around -8 here the next couple days with -20 -30 wind chills. My girls are in an non insulated non heated coop. We strategically placed the coop up against the barn to act as a wind break. By the posts I've seen on here it seems like they should be fine but I've still been worried. And my last question, when it warms up is it safe for the chickens to walk around on snow for an extended period of time if they have the option to go back into the coop if they want?

My babies have been enjoying, I mean enduring NEGATIVE numbers here in KY!...So if the temp is around 54-45 Farenheit, its all right for chickens? Plus when it rains do they stay in too or would they go out? Plus would it really disturb them if i move the living quarters around so it wont get them too cold or wet outside??
