Well I only have 1 CLB hen but she is probably 3 yrs old and has lived through the winters here in the panhandle of Texas. I do not heat coop so she has made it through several negative 0 nights/days. Is even laying right now in mid February.
I will be collecting from the inside. After having finally seen the inside of the container I bought I’m pretty sure I would not have much space if I put them on the inside. Especially with their roost too. I want them to have plenty of room in case they have to be inside for a bit due to...
