    UPDATE: She just laid an egg & the egg seemed to be normal. Even cracked it open & yolk looked healthy, bright & yellow! However, the shell was rather soft & broke easily.

    Just collected 5 eggs for today (only have 6 birds total: 4 chickens & 2 ducks)... That tells me that our chickens & ducks must be happy even though they're prolly freezing their tail feathers off!! It's a whopping 29 degrees outside here in OKlahoma, when you figure wind chill, it's like 21...

    That is what I was thinking to with the pop door left open. So I think I might give JodyJo's idea a try. I just hope my chickens & ducks are smart enough to go thru it!! LOL! Thanks

    Our family is fairly new to raising chicken & ducks, but that hasn't stopped us from becoming one of those "Crazy about Chickens" People! We always had ducks, turkeys, chickens, ect... when I was young and even participated in the 4-H Chicken program in grade school, but it's a whole new level...

    Does coop need to be heated thru winter??

    Yes, we have the north side covered completely with the galvanized metal. (Thinking we might put the clear plastic corrugated over the window instead of the metal to let more light in the coop during the day). But the other angled side on the east is left open. Also, I do not shut them in the...
