Hi all,
I’m located in upstate NY, my coop uninsulated and I haven’t used any heat so far this winter. It’s been fairly mild so far for our winters averaging mid 20s. I had one minor frostbite issue with my jersey giant roo on his waddles when it reached 2 degrees but he’s fine now and my 16 hens have done great.
This week is supposed to be really cold with the coldest day being a high of 10 and a low of -17.
Should I give them supplemental heat just for a few days?
Thanks for the feedback!
