    When to introduce dogs to new chicks

    Winter is Coming! Checklists, tips, advice for a newbie

    I only have two hens too with no extra heat--dry, insulated, well ventilated and wind proof coop. I am putting extra insulation of straw right above their favourite roosting place, which is quite high up.

    music for hens

    thank you so much--i suspected this-the idea of locking them in the small coop seemed like the right solution as I do not want any frozen toes BUT I do not like going against their nature.
