26 deg tonight have to leave coop open... ok?

[Cuccismith]

I'm going overnight and it's going to be 24-26 degrees. I usually close the coop door and open in the morning at daybreak. The coop is inclosed in a predator proof run. Is it too cold to leave the door open?

I don't know but Maybe. What are your breeds? Hardy or less heat insulted, and if their molting defiantly close it up since they can't hold a much heat when molting.

thanks! I have 2 RR 2 Silky mix 1 Leg- the leghorn just finished molting and feathers have grown back. The others did not molt as they are almost a year. I really need to get an automatic door but I don't have $. Thought of making a plastic strip door like in a restaurant freezer...

yah none of use seem to have the $ to get the fancy stuff but they might be fine just as long as they can get inside their coop.
