Anyone loosing guineas to the cold?

[BarbaraNH]

Over the almost 14 years that we had guineas, we never lost any to the cold, but I think that is because they were kept in a heated coop. We didn't always heat the coop, but as the flock aged (probably when they were about 7 or 8 years old), I noticed that they seemed to be uncomfortable when the temperatures dropped down into the single numbers F. Providing heat seemed to do the trick and helped them live out their older years without being stressed by the cold. We heated with a propane heater when needed and also with an electric heater that was set to go on when temps got down close to freezing.
