As long as you have a draft free place to sleep they will be fine... mine choose to sleep out in the cold all winter long. A few go in to sleep when it gets into the teens.

We screw an extra 4 x 8 sheet on one side to cut down on the wind and we have a heat lamp that we turn on at night.

I cant wait for the day I can wear a sweatshirt with my shorts and we can sleep with the window open and the down comforter on!!!! woot woot.....

Soon.........

So there isn't really a need to "heat" the coop? The cold doesn't bother the egg production?

I'd suggest you browse the board for the 3 or 4 recent posts on lighting and egg production. They contain a great amount of information you would find useful.

I would think it depends on how cold it gets in your area.
