    Hey Anon, I’ve asked Frost Ranger and RoseMaryandThyme this as well: One of them or more- I found three eggs- laid the day before or yesterday. Is there any correlation between first time laying and not going into the coop?

    Winter Coop Design

    I appreciated reading your post. I’m also new to chicken keeping in northern New England and learning, so I don’t have any solid advice. I have read that the coop shouldn’t be insulated.
