libertychicken, shat breed(s) do you have? I have bbs Orpingtons just 13 miles south of Indianapolis. They hate the snow and won't leave the run, but the cold doesn't bother them. Even when it's 9* out, I don't even bother closing the pop doors. That would not be good for some breeds though. If it goes below zero, I'll close the pop doors, but no matter what, I won't add heat to the coop; they don't need it because they're well insulated and they roost of the 4-inch side of the 2x4, so they're able to sit on their feet to keep their toes warm.
