Well I guess we know where the saying came from. It rarely gets below 0 around here. I am in southwest Ohio. Last year I think maybe 5 days during the winter was in single digits. Typically we stay in the upper 20s to mid 30s. January and February are the coldest months. Where the coop sits it is in the sun all day. So during the day it is sometimes 20-30 warmer during the day b/c I have the windows shut. I have 6 7 week old chicks in there. Then at night it stays 5-10 degrees warmer than outside. It has great ventilation. My moisture stays between 30-60%. In the summer I can place hte hutch behind the barn. That way it stays shaded all day. Our summers are typically around 80-90 from mid June through August. I will have to make sure I build something that is open so it can stay cool and put frozen water bottles in there.
