I'm in the Midwest and we just made it through a nasty blizzard but the Temps are still crazy low, it's -14 right now with a real feel of -29. I've been super worried about the girls but they seem to be hanging in there ok.
We use deep litter method and I heard it adds a little warmth in the winter but the bedding is frozen solid, does that mean it isn't working or I should do something different? I avoid heat lamps out of fear of fire or shock if we lose power which has happened with bad winter storms in the past.
Some of the girls are sleeping on the floor of the coop on the bedding instead of roosting, could that be a sign it's working and they are getting some warmth from it?
