Gin the stalls must be cleaned I am sure!!!! My daughter cleaned my coops out today and got rid of the wheat straw and put wood chips in them because they will dry out quicker. But only my silkies have a light as I have not figured out how too add a light too the other coop. It is kinda long and short. My family says the chickens will keep each other warm with the coop closed. I sure hope they are right. Next year, Lord willing and I can make some extra money someway, I will have a better set up and more chickens. Did I say MORE CHICKENS? Well slap my mouth. I got too many already. Like you Gin, it is so cold out and I hate battling it and right now hubby is helping out without complaining but can't make him understand that they need water swapped out because it freezes fast. Got too find me some waterers that can be hooked up too electric too keep the water from freezing. Just don't know the cheapest place too get them.
