I was wondering if I could use leaves or some type of bedding and put cardboard and a tarp over my coops would it help the chickens stay warm? Also, my neighbor had a bantam EE and she went broody in a hole on the side of my yard where apparently she had been laying eggs. I told my neighbor she was in my yard and his reply was, "I don't want that STUPID chicken you can keep the dang thing" I was kinda offended by that and told him what he needed to be told. So do I let her keep setting she is appoxamatly on day 16/17? I am just trying my best to keep the animals warm in this cold weather. I have already put the dogs and my rabbit in side my house. So I don't really have room for 50+ chickens so any suggestions would be great and I DO NOT want to use a heat lamp unless ABSOULUTLY needed. Any help is greatly appreciated!
