I live in Oklahoma and it’s going to be -10 F this weekend and generally below freezing for a while so I was wondering if I need heat lamps. We moved here recently so they’re in a coop that was already here and it’s basically just a shed so I’m not confident it’s going to hold heat itself. I do have one Bantam, not sure if that changes anything but I figure since she’s smaller it’ll be colder for her. Anyways I’m not used to the climate and am not sure if I should use heat lamps or not. I also have a flat floor heater that’s also a brooder but it doesn’t heat up as well as a heatlamp.

BT,
Please post pic's of your coop. if it's just one Bantam you are worried about then bring it in. Do you have a laundry area or garage area out of the wind?
