Straw is better than hay as it is more resistant to mold than the hay is.

I don`t think you will need the reptile heating coil. The hay bails should work good. Chickens give off alot of heat.The most important thing is ventalation but you do not want your girls exsposed to a draft.Moisture in the air will condence on a warm chicken body. Also I use 2x4 for roost so they can sit on thier feet flat to keep them warm. One more thing I like to do is give them a bedtime snack like a bowl of cooked (cooled) oatmeal or cooked eggs. If they are full at bedtime they will have the extra energy to keep warm. If you go to E-Bay you will find a 96 oz heated dog bowl for $23 with free shipping. I have the same one and it works great. It uses only 25 watts so it uses very little power
