This is our first winter with our chickens here in central N.Y. weather has been pretty cold lately in the single digits and negatives for a few weeks. We don’t have heat or lights in our chicken coop, just a ‘utility de-icer’ for our 7 gallon water tank. We don’t get nearly as many eggs but other than the frost bite, the ladies seem to be happy and healthy. They really don’t like walking in the snow and won’t come down their ramp unless the snow is off it. The only changes I’m going to make this coming spring 1. Overhanging roof over their run and screen it in fully 2. Run electrical out and install an outlet for lighting inside the coop/automatic hen door opener/closer.
