Well we had -26 with wind chill yesterday and my 2 girls were in their mostly protected run. I was still feeling some air movement in there with gusts and they were standing on one foot and one was shivering so I took a new bag of pine shavings and spread some and left the rest in a pile with treats mixed in to keep them moving and warm them up. They did ok!
But after seeing the forecast for this coming weekend… lows -18 for 2 days without windchill.
I have a crappy prefab coop that allegedly holds 8. I have 2 Easter eggers. Wondering if I should keep them locked up with a battery light until it warms up a little more. I’d like to put a heater in there but Their poop was steaming yesterday in the run… so I feel like a heater would create too much moisture.
Any advice for the insane cold snap?
