Here in upstate NY, Temps will be dipping into below 0 on Friday and Saturday. They say there could be wind chills at night of -25 to -40. I have five 3 year old hens. 4 of them are big and puffy (BO's and EE) but one hen is a skinny (and molting) RSL. Our coop is shut up tight each night and ventilation is good. I'm attaching a photo of the weather report. We have a small heater (the safe kind that looks like a TV set, only emits heat if you're right in front if it) in the coop too. These will be the coolest Temps we have had since they were born. Some friends are saying we should bring the chickens inside but I am not sure what I should do. My thought was that the -40 wind chills would only effect them if exposed- which they will not be inside of the coop. Is that thinking correct? Im especially worried about the little brown hen. Any advice would be very appreciated! Thank you.
