Good morning! This is our first winter with our 3 backyard hens (2 barred rocks and an Easter egger) we are about to hit bitter, way into the negatives, weather..is there anything else I can do to help my girls?
Here's their current set up.. they have a coop and run which is tiny so we built a bigger run around it and they free range (although they haven't wanted to go outside as they're molting) the large run is covered in plastic and vented. Their coop and run, the run part I put up plexiglass and the coop has lots of hay and is vented. I've been giving them cracked corn at night and warm water and warm treats. Should I put their brooder box in the coop to help them till we get back into single digit temps? Is there anything else I can do to help them??
Thank you so so much!!
