Winter-Coop-Temperatures

I live in north Alabama and unless we have an exceptionally cold winter will probably not need to heat my coops, I hope. I have silkies, jersey giants and americanas. Can you give me an idea of the temp when heat becomes needed for each of these breeds? I am fairly new to this and don't want my babies to be uncomfortable.

Well said.

This will be my first winter with 7 hens and I need all the advice I can get! Thanks for such an informative article. It sums up everything I've been reading about winter and helps me make sound decisions for my iffy winters here in southern Indiana.

with so many threads about what to do in winter, this article is very helpful. We sometimes forget chickens are considered livestock and will survive the cold much better than we think they can.

Very helpful article for those with cold winters

Good article that is realistic about ventilation and the fact that they do not need heat
