    Winterizing the coop.

    I wrap my housing with plastic( home Depot) just the housing. Put small holes for ventalation. Leave door uncovered of course. I use fescue hay for bedding. If able you can run a heating pad( where they can't peck it) on low, under the nesting box, make sure heating pad is not exposed! Good luck!
