Don’t think this is the right section, but didn’t know where else to post.

Long story short: I don’t watch tv or anything so I didn’t know weather was going to be this bad. I’ve never felt like I needed to add a heat lamp or move my chickens but this time I’m considering either getting them a heat lamp or putting them in my garage. They do have plastic around the coop but am worried it may not be enough. I dropped off my car at the mechanics and not sure if my wife will pick me me Up on time to stop by the store.

What's the weather? What's the temperature? Pics of your setup?

They''ll be fine, as long as your coop is draft free and well ventilated.

What’s draft free?

What’s draft free?

when there aren't gaps in the coop walls that let cold air/wind through.

There’s actually a 8 inch gap that I didn’t get to wrap plastic around. Coop is about 4x8 and the sleep on the oposite side of where I didn’t get to wrap plastic around
