Cold for chickens?

[asianchicken]

I live in Florida but it still gets pretty cold down here. LAst winter it went down to the low twenties. Will Rhode Island reds do ok in temperatures that cold?

I believe they are pretty cold hard - better be since I'm in MI and it gets a LOT colder here and I have 5!

But yes, as long as you keep them draft free, they should be happy

HA! I'm in Rhode Island and DO NOT own a RI Red..go figure.

Yes they are WICKED cold hardy. the 20s is nothing to a Red. Just keep the draft to a minimum and make sure there's plenty of ventilation....and maybe put a little Vaseline on their combs.
