alaska chicken people please post tips

[Poo Shoes]

hi all., was wondering if the alaska (extreme cold weather) chicken owners would be willing to post their coop and management solutions for dealing with extremely long cold spells of like 20 below and colder, i had my chickens last winter in a 70 degree heated building but this year would like to put them in a 8 x 10 unheated insulated coop. 13 chickens. How do things work for you and what kind of a coop setup do you have with how many chickens. any tips appreciated

thanks, Poo Shoes from Poo Shoe Farm
