I lost 6 in the past 3 weeks and have lost several over the year and a half I've had chickens. I finanly got sick of it and they are now happy and content in a 10 x 30 dog kennel with aviary netting on the top. They're happy and so am I!
? About hawks in winter.

We actually covered our run in plastic. It's unbelievable the ground did NOT freeze! Even with the venting and cold air coming in. I bet once the sun hits, there's a sauna effect. My chickens have a lot of room with the coop and run combined. I sprout greens for them, so their yolks stay orange. Plus there is nothing to forage outside, everything is frozen. They seem really happy though, not much noise unless there's been an egg laid.
Our coop is very insulated and stays 40 degrees or higher, which is very nice. Even when it's been -1 in the morning. Hubby did a great job on the coop.
