    Advice greatly needed temps gonna be very low tonight

    This is our first year with chickens. Our coop is quite large & is inside our garage. We use dlm with a combination of straw & pine shavings.

    Would this work?!

    So I have an old dog house that looks like this... Would it work for 3/4 ducks at night?? (Only at night) And let them out in the morning... I need something ASAP to get my babies out of the wind and cold! Any other suggestions would work too! TIA!

    Chick left ice-cold all night but still alive

    About a week ago I had an egg sit out in about 50-59F all night and I was sure it was dead but two days later it's still alive! If it lives to hatch will it be too weak to survive?
