There are certainly many opinions on how to deal with the cold and we all have to do what helps us sleep at night I guess.
Bogtown - you don't need to duck. You're entitled to your opinion and if someone else follows suit and it works for them what does it matter?
The main thing is we get all kinds of ideas on how to deal with this blasted cold. Then we can choose our own way.
I got 3 for 4 eggs from one coop and their door what wide open today and it's freezing. They were outside and if it bothered them I can't say.
The other coops did well today for eggs and I'm happy for that. They have a light on all day and until 8 - 9. While the runs are covered they are NOT air tight.
The final coop I think needs a light on too. Those crazy birds sleep right in front of the opening. I do have plans to cover it with fleece though.
So folks do what you think is best without apology. Just be safe,
Rancher
